The Heat: Latin America turning to the right

The Heat

During the first years of this century, Latin America was dominated by left-wing governments. It was the so-called ‘pink tide’ – when 3/4 of South America’s population were led by leftist presidents.

But the tide has since turned – with conservative and right-wing candidates winning election in several countries.
