Boric would win a runoff against Provoste handily, and against Sichel narrowly. (A Provoste/Sichel runoff seems unlikely, but Sichel would win)

What the gently caress Castillo. Not even 24 hours in and just appointed as Prime Minister a misogynist, homophobic, Sendero apologist nobody. Apparently the name everyone was expecting for the post was another douche who doesn't give money for the baby he had with a 14 year old but a bunch of Congresswomen send a letter to him telling it would be a bad idea.

What little left-wing there is in Peru tends to be socially conservative, even regressive. This was already the case with Sendero, who made no excuses about executing gay men for 'disgracing their communities', and that carried over, to greater or lesser degree, to a lot of left and far-left electoral ventures further down the road, like Ollanta Humala (whose leftist cred lasted precious little after getting elected since he did a 180 on his position on mining rights). This is generally considered to be the case because these blocs largely rely on the rural indigenous poor for support, but then again, so does the MAS-IPSP in Bolivia, and their track record on gender and LGBT issues is okay-ish by Bolivian standards. JPP/FA (Verónika Mendoza's crowd, which seemed to splinter by the home stretch of the last presidential elections, which many see as the immediate reason Castillo made it to the runoff) is the only group with any kind of congressional presence to advocate for social progressivism, but as far as I'm aware (which isn't much, I only keep up with peruvian politics through osmosis) they've struggled to expand their support beyond urban intellectuals. I guess I should be thankful that, as split as the Chilean left is, they're all more or less on the same page when it comes to social issues (except for, I dunno, Eduardo Artés, who's an Enver Hoxha style anti-revisionist who wants to reinstate the death penalty, indoctrinate the armed forces into Marxist-Leninism and bring them back into government, expel all Venezuelan immigrants and do away with identity politics)

I think it's more like he's folding to the major assholes that run the party he was candidate for (he was invited to run as candidate but does not belong to the party). Sure, Castillo has also proven to be backwards on some social issues but hasn't spewed the amount of bullshit his Premier has. At some point during the campaign he appeared to be ready to take the wheel in his hands but this has proven otherwise. On top of it, this also provides more ammunition for opposition in Congress so yeah, this government won't last long. Edit: WhiskeyWhiskers posted:I think waiting and seeing is more prudent.

Good intentions so we can only hope it doesn't end as a toothless ministry. Ulvino fucked around with this message at 15:07 on Jul 30, 2021 |

They finally convinced him, even if he had rejected the position after Bellido was designated Premier. That pin and his speech are basically a middle finger to the Bellido/Cerrón leadership.

Yeah, Francke was also associated with Veronika Mendoza's group (I'm not even sure what name they're going by now? FA? JPP?) and his initial rejection of the post was what caused all this hubbub. I don't think Castillo has made inroads with any of the other parties with a presence in Congress (not that he'd have much luck, since all other groups range from center-right to fujimoristas afaict), and FA/JPP/whatever only adds a handful of seats, so how he'll deal with a hostile Congress is still an open question.

Mendoza's party is Nuevo Perú but they run with the JPP (Juntos Por el Perú) coalition. Political party names in Perú are somewhat uninspiring but the parties themselves tend to be short lived. The FA from which they separated did not get any seats this time. Ulvino fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Jul 31, 2021 |

I've never seen anyone suggest something other than Castillo being socially conservative on issues like same sex marriage and gender education in general. Unless you are being facetious and dissing on the prensa chicha but that is the lowest of low hanging fruit, mate. I've also hadn't seen him lumped with the etnocacerists before. Antauro's bunch backed Lopez Aliaga's party during the first round at least.

Castillo apparently said in his campaign that he would looking into granting an "indulto" or pardon for Antauro. However yes, this is not the same as Castillo and Antauro working together on policy entre bastidores or Antauro being appointed to a position or anything. It appears more that Castillo made a promise in response to a demand of his supporters.

no hay camino posted:Castillo apparently said in his campaign that he would looking into granting an "indulto" or pardon for Antauro. Right, I hadn't seen that before. As you say, it does appear to be him trying to please part of his supporters, and also by date that should be during the campaign for the second round, right? So he may have tried to reach for the antauristas. In any case, besides constant struggle with Congress (nothing new from the past 5 years), it seems his term will be marked by the internal fighting for power within his party. Let's hope he gets more confident along the road and helps him juggle all this pressure groups. Also, the most recent fuss appears to be that, since he rejected using the presidential palace because it's a colonial symbol (it was raised where Pizarro lived but the palace was actually built in 1938), he's conducting official meetings on a friend's house where he's staying in Lima, and no public records are being kept. Obviously detractors are already calling for impeachment (since before he was sworn in, mind you) but even if it's being blown out of proportion, transparency wise doesn't look good, especially when fighting against corruption was one of his primary objectives.

I was saying that since last year: is great for the whole world that Trump is out, good for us too. But we cant expect Biden, or the democratic party in general, to be our friend, or even not our enemy They dont care that Bolsonaro loves Trump and believed the fraud, they do care that Bolsonaro is much more likely to do whatever they want than Lula

Obam's admin worked to do the lawfare on Lula that put Lula in jail, barred him from running, and gave Brazil Bolsonaro. e: I think there's pretty decent documentation there that they were opposed to the "pink wave" through LatAm because it weakened US control over the region.,

Grouchio posted:It's not up to Biden. Bolsonaro is currently polling majorities in favor of impeachment and absolute majorities opposed to his reelection. There's also no relation between Cuba and Brazilian presidential elections, and it is needlessly conspiratorial to associate them. And as a final aside, it reveals a pretty startling lapse of memory about Obama's foreign policy, since his policy was one of detente and rapprochement with Cuba. Sounds like the Biden administration has a lot of voter fraud investigations in Brazil coming up, that Lula's at it again!

In general Central Americans residing in America and people of Central American descent tend to be more left leaning as they tend to come from middle or working class backgrounds. Specifically Mexican and Salvadoran Americans. People from South America tend to be much more right wing. These people often "come by plane".

It's a little neat that Brasil, Spain, and México took the medals for men's soccer in the Olympics, especially given that between the Copa America and the Olympics I've heard that the better players generally went to the former.

You could pick any, literally any of their tweets or basically anything they've ever said or written and "loving disgusting" would sum it up pretty well. But I personally think that also applies to most fascist and nationalist parties, though. Hearing fellow Peruvians and Venezuelans openly defend voting for them during the last regional elections here in Catalonia just so "the reds don't win" could also be described with those two words.

And they think just like that too (these are the people who were getting all riled up because a statue of Borba Gato, a famous mass murderer of natives, was burned here a few weeks ago). They identify with the colonizers, and they would want to return to the good old ways of genocide, slavery and extractivism
