Latin America ¡Sin Filtro!

⚡️ Democracy Tests: When Voters Say No to Power Four stories from Latin America this week

Last weekend, the people of #LatinAmerica have said '“No” to power - “No” to #Ecuador’s Noboa, “No” to #Chile's left, “No” to corruption, extortion and the lack of opportunities in #Mexico

This week’s ⚡️Cafecito Highlights assesses what these mean #democracy sinfiltroya.substack.com/p/cafecito-h...

☕️ Latin America in Liminal Space: Elections, Extraction, and the Question of Survival Why Latin America's biggest risk isn't failing elections — it's that elections become irrelevant because power has already migrated elsewhere.

🔎 Latin America’s Energy Crossroads: Two Contested Paths to a “Just” Future Latin America's two largest economies have placed opposite bets on decarbonisation. Dozens of developing nations are watching.
