A conference of leftists wants to know: How to beat the global right?

Mexico City – In recent years, remarkable rights have been organized in a remarkable way by sharing the advisors, strategies and speaking points of the leaders of very distant countries.

The conservative political action conference, which is the gathering of right -wing activists and elected officials in the United States, hosted mega events in Globalized and Brazil, Argentina and Hungary. Argentina President Javier Milei and El Salvador President Nayib Bukkele, including foreign leaders, took the stage in CPAC, hit socialism and called hard policies about crime and railing against everything.

Now, the left is trying to compete.

This week, political leaders, activists and strategists from a dozen countries in the United States are gathering at Mexico City, in which organizers are invoiced by the “CPAC ın.

Second year Panamercan Congress It includes various participants from a politician with a guerrilla fighter from Colombia to US representatives. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) And Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.).

The program of the event promises that the leftists do not speak between the borders as well as the right, and to correct this hemispheric coordination crisis ”.

At closed door meetings and public events, participants will try to address hemispheric themes such as migration, climate change and Trump’s tariff threats. And they will discuss existential questions: What do the strategies gain for the left while the elections appear in the region? And how can he struggle with the increasing influence of the conservative, anti -establishment populists, inspired and influenced by the American right?

“We need solutions not only at the level of individual countries, but also at the continent level, Gi said Giorgio Jackson, an event organizer who serves as the Minister of Social Development under Chilean President Gabriel Boric. “We need wide, democratic, progressive alliances.”

Chile’s upcoming presidential election emphasizes how much the ideological landscape of America has changed. Just a few years ago, the left, the candidates in a country won the presidency of Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Colombia and Brazil.

Boric, a former student protest leader who was only 36 years old when he came to office, was similar to the period of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Brazil’s Brazil’s Brazil’s Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula, Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Bolivia’s regional politics.

Boric campaign on a promise that Chile’s free market Orthodoxy would be the “grave ,, and encouraged a new constitution to protect gender equality, environmental protection and domestic rights.

However, a national referendum on the Constitution failed. And a stagnant economy and organized crime, and in the midst of increasing fears in migration from nearby Venezuela, the degree of approval fell below 30%.

Conservative José Antonio Kast, a Trump Acolyte, who has promised harsh security policies, is now on Chile’s presidential elections in November.

The promise of the fight against crime was a strategy for the right from Ekvador, who declared a war with an organized crime by conservative President Daniel Noboa, to El Salvador, where the mass imprisonment of the alleged gang members eliminated concerns about human rights violations.

“Most countries’ surveys argue that the population wants harsh pressures,” said James Bosworth, the founder of Hxagon, a company that provides political risk analysis in Latin America. A strong hand – “Mano dura” – Popular, dedi he said.

The left said he had to find a strong message.

It is not a coincidence that the conference took place in Mexico, where leftist president Claudia Sheinbaum won the election last year. The Morena Party has a majority in both congress rooms and most states are governing.

Former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the founder of the party, was an economic populist that disrupts the “power mafia ği, which he promised to“ first put the poor ”.

Celeleste Ascencio Ortega, a Morena congress member of Michoacán province, said that other countries should consider MORENA to replicate the popular welfare programs that make the state’s money to the students and the elderly.

“We should talk about the accumulation of a reserve that benefits not only a few,” he said.

Economic populism proved that Zohran Mamdani, in New York’s mayor’s race, focused on poverty and comprehensibility, a winning strategy that he beat the democratic foundation candidates.

However, the leftists who take office in the hemisphere are now Hamstung due to harsh economic conditions.

For a long time, Lula and others have allowed to spend generously. Today, inflation increases food and fuel prices and a worldwide threat of stagnation.

Leftists should also fight the aggressive politics of the global superpower of the region.

President Trump broke the migration and he has repeatedly threatened the nations in Latin America with tariffs, and he said that he had recently refers to the “witch hunt” to the former right -right President Jair Bolsonaro, who has recently received a 50% tax for imports from Brazil and planned a coup.

In Mexico, whose economy is largely based on the United States, Trump threatens 30% of Mexican imports unless the country does more to combat drug trafficking and migration.

The new taxes will enter into force on Friday, just like the Congress’s meeting at Mexico City. Perhaps, in order to avoid antagonizing Trump with the leading democrats, sheinbaum will not participate in the event, although she can officially meet her guests, and the leading Makera party members will participate.

The left has suffered a series of losses lately. Kamala Harris lost to Trump. In Argentina, the extreme right Firebrand Milei promised to privatize most of the government. Surveys in Brazil show that Lula was not as popular as it was once going to the presidential vote next year. .

However, it is ready to discuss whether these changes reflect the real ideological changes in the region.

Many see the pendulum release from left to right as a feature of politics in the hemisphere in which voters often try to change. From 2018 to 2023, approximately two dozen national elections against the party’s party went.

“There are almost no government re -elected on the continent for about 15 years, Jackson said, Jackson said. “These are very difficult conditions for any party.”

In this week, there will be no countries with leftist leaders who make harsh authoritarian turns from Venezuela, Nicaragua or Cuba.

Bosworth, these oppressive governments, especially more than 6 million people in recent years, the political, economic and humanitarian crisis has escaped from Venezuela’ya said it was responsible for addressing.

“Venezuela is struggling to go beyond the great failure of the left in Latin America,” he said. “If this movement will do something, they can’t ignore the fact that Venezuela exists.”
