THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (Andrew Day) - Brazil’s Elections Head to Second Round After Right-Wing Surge
State of the Union: Flávio Bolsonaro defeated the left-wing president but failed to secure a majority of the vote. The post Brazil’s Elections Head to Second Round After Right-Wing Surge appeared first on The American Conservative .
Flávio Bolsonaro, the right-wing candidate, unexpectedly defeated the incumbent left-wing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in an election Sunday but failed to secure a majority of the vote, setting up a runoff.

SUBSTACK (The Grayzone) - 'MAGA's man in Latin America' arrested for murder-for-hire plot
Lurking behind Trump aligned leaders such as Javier Milei, Daniel Noboa, Jair Bolsonaro, and Nayib Bukele are lesser known but highly influential operatives who dictate the course of events in their countries.
Perhaps the most consequential of these figures is Fernando Cerimedo, a top advisor to the right-wing Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz, who’s known as MAGA’s man in Latin America. On August 18, Cerimedo was arrested and accused of masterminding an attack that would have killed his ex-girlfriend, the Bolivian lawyer Nadia Beller, who is pregnant. Beller miraculously survived four shots at point-blank range, and from her hospital bed, in a desperate bid to avoid being murdered, she denounced Cerimedo. The Grayzone reports on how Cerimedo's testimony exposes much more than her ex's lethal intentions. Beller reveals an entire network of CIA assets manipulating Latin American politics on behalf of Trump's Washington, and explains how a deluge…Open

Foreign Affairs The Poverty of the Latin American Right Toadying to Washington is not a durable platform for the region. Photo by Luis ACOSTA / AFP via Getty Images On June 21, Colombians narrowly elected the right-wing lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella to the presidency over the leftist candidate Iván Cepeda. Since 2023, right-wingers have won 11 of the past 13 elections in Latin America. De la Espriella’s victory comes as a jewel in the crown for the Trump administration and its so-called “Donroe Doctrine.” Sadly, the track record of recent conservative governments in the Americas—with the exception of El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele—has been disappointing at best and catastrophic at worst. In its current form, the Latin American…Open
