1. The topic to highlight: Next year for Latin America

This 2023 will bring important elections in Latin America, the first year in office of new leaders and the continuous burdens of instability and autocracy in certain countries.

These are some of the threads of which we will be pending for some countries of the region:

Argentina

: Argentines will elect a new president, Congress and governors of most provinces on October 29.

  • The president, Alberto Fernández, has said that he will run for re-election.

    But he may face resistance within the Frende de Todos coalition, according to analysts.

    Although vice president and former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has indicated that she will not run after a court found her guilty of corruption.

Bolivia

: The year began with renewed protests in the Santa Cruz area after the arrest of opposition leader Luis Fernando Camacho at the end of December.

The unrest in the streets is expected to continue for months, given that several strikes and blockades had already been experienced in Santa Cruz in 2022.

Brazil

: The return of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as president could result in drastic changes for the country in matters such as combating climate change, actions against deforestation in the Amazon, and arms control.

  • Although in other matters, especially socioeconomic, the circumstances in Brazil may play against Lula's plans.

    There is strong polarization, and support for former President Jair Bolsonaro continues to be strong.

    In addition, the economic outlook for the South American nation is more complex than when Lula first ruled (2003-2010), when there was a

    boom

    in world prices for raw materials that Brazil could export.
