It's no surprise the left is surging in a Latin America that remains the world's most unequal region.

More than half of all Republicans believe the lie that Trump won the presidential elections. How sad, to believe someone who lies.

“Es tiempo de nuevos liderazgos”, el presentador de Línea de Fuego, Luis Carlos Vélez, destaca el mensaje de David Gergen, estratega político y profesor de la Universidad de Harvard, quien dijo recientemente en una entrevista que “cada vez es mayor la sensación de que el camino que llevamos es insostenible”. Resalta que en el país “estamos divididos, polarizados, cansados” y que “las nuevas generaciones tienen el reto de mejorar lo que tenemos”.

El presentador de Línea de Fuego afirma que “la Cumbre de las Américas está en cuidados intensivos” y que “poco o nada queda de la reunión que en 1994 creó el presidente Bill Clinton con dos temas en mente: principios y valores democráticos y fortalecer las instituciones”. Asimismo, asegura que, en esta ocasión, “la administración Biden ha puesto muy abajo en la lista de prioridad a nuestra región; en respuesta, América Latina ha hecho lo mismo con EEUU”.

The Summit of the Americas is a meeting of democracies. Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela are not. There's no reason to give their dictators the same recognition as legitimately elected presidents.

Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador has repeatedly said he will not seek reelection and will leave office in 2024. That is, he will not follow the Cuban model. But his admiration for and defense of a regime that represses, jails and kills its opponents is very worrisome. It is difficult to understand how López Obrador wants democracy for Mexicans but not for Cubans.

The U.S. is shipping "unprecedented" quantities of military aid to Ukraine – including long range missiles and drones- totalling $3.4 billion in military aid.

Thirty-one journalists have been murdered since AMLO became president, according to the organization Articulo 19. These were not government crimes, of course. But the impunity and the lack of protections for the work of journalists is almost total.

Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Jorge Ramos

The president and the journalist

President López Obrador has repeatedly denied reports of conflict of interests in his family. He has tried to move attention away from the latest controversy by attacking journalists who question his government, even when the questions – about crime, his handling of the pandemic or the shortage of medicines – have nothing to do with his family or recent issues.

Seventy percent of guns recovered from crime scenes in Mexico are traced to the United States, and they contribute to Mexico’s more than 22,000 yearly gun-related homicides. The Mexican government has filed suit in a federal court in Massachusetts against some of the largest U.S. producers of firearms, including Smith & Wesson, Glock, and Beretta.

"Tras el triunfo de Biden en noviembre de 2020 muchos pensaron que finalmente reinarían la razón y el sentido común. Pero Biden no solo se ha topado con el muro de oposición republicana a su agenda, sino a las propias divisiones internas entre los demócratas que, al final de cuentas, son los que han impedido logros legislativos a todos los niveles, desde programas sociales, hasta infraestructura, protección del derecho al voto e inmigración".

Será en el transcurso entre este lunes y martes cuando el Congreso vote a favor o en contra del acuerdo pactado entre Obama, líderes demócratas y republicanos.
