Latin America s feudal castle

Gaston Brito · Getty Alain Rouquié, former French ambassador to Brazil, summed up Latin America’s progress in 2010: ‘After decades of instability and dictatorship, democracy seems to have taken root everywhere.’ He had in mind the electoral victories of Michelle Bachelet in Chile (2006), Evo Morales in Bolivia (2006) and Luiz Inácio ‘Lula’ da Silva in Brazil (2003) when he wrote, ‘Henceforth, a woman, an Indian or a manual worker can reach the highest office through the ballot box’. Things have changed since. In Bolivia, a coup ousted ‘the Indian’ ; in Brazil, the ‘worker’ (Lula) is being harassed by a justice system manipulated by the right; and although Bachelet completed her term as Chile’s president, her Brazilian counterpart Dilma Rousseff, elected in 2011, was removed from office ontrumped-up charges in 2016.
