The pandemic and the resulting economic toll have left Colombia more divided politically than it has ever been. Going into the presidential elections for 2022, no party currently has enough of a majority to win.

The current mayor of São Paulo, Bruno Covas of the center-right, defeated leftist Guilherme Boulos in the second round of municipal elections and will rule the largest city in Latin America for four more years.

Oppositional forces in Nicaragua have been strategically organizing themselves throughout the country as a means to achieve the suspension of the police state and defeat the Daniel Ortega regime in the eventual elections.

Former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, refused to suggest names for possible ministers and stated that it is best that current president Luis Arce make his own decisions.

“Politics is no longer a healthy discussion about long-term projects for the development of all and the common good, but only immediate marketing recipes that find the most effective resource in the destruction of the other,” said Walmor Oliveira de Azevedo, President of the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil.

Around 14,000 candidates are competing for 277 seats.

By condemning social isolation, claiming that everyone will die one day, the president scorns science and its contribution to prolonging life expectancy.

Some opponents of the Ortega regime have not been able to leave Managua or their homes due to a blockade by the Orteguista police.

Over a million people welcomed Evo Morales back to Bolivia in Chimoré after being driven from power one year ago.

Over the last half century, the social landscape in Bolivia has changed dramatically.
