The communist party is part of the government for the first time since Allende.. But more than that, leftward leaning governments (in the region) tend to be associated with corruption, incompetence, and a breakdown of order. THAT is why there's a lot of hate for leftist governments. Uhh, aren't right-wing governments in Latin America associated with all that + military juntas?

So right-wing authoritarians are just straight up claiming election fraud every time they lose now (check Netanyahu too). Thanks Trump. Can't wait until the local ones start doing it too. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jun/08/keiko-fujimori-claims-irregularities-peru-presidential-election-pedro-castillo
