Latin America General : Corona Carnaval

[Kowani]

Barbados' current Governor General Dame Sandra Mason has consented on her nomination as first President of Barbados, confirmation vote in both houses to come

[Kilobugya]

Bolivia's Attorney General Juan Lanchipa says that he has filed charges of "genocide" and other crimes against former acting President Jeanine Añez

Genocide seems excessive, but Jeanine Añez needs to face trial for her use of lethal force against peaceful protesters and for usurping power.

Mexican 2018 presidential candidate, Ricardo Anaya (PAN), has fled to the United States to avoid arrest on charges of accepting 6.8 million pesos worth of bribes in order to pass the energy reforms of 2013-2014 and illicit enrichment in his attempt to become governor of Querétaro

[Novus America]

oh dear, that does not look good. I wish him all the best recovering.

But seriously, why are anti-maskers/anti-lockdowners so frickin violent? I'm genuinely interested.

Because they're practically zombies with weapons.

Mexico's electoral tribunal has revoked MORENA's victory in three FPTP districts after alleged irregularities in the vote count, recognizing PAN as the victor in all three

I'm not Mexican, but I like AMLO. I think he's a pretty decent guy overall. PAN is just mad that the establishment lost to a newcomer party, and they're doing their best to fuck up AMLO's presidency before he's halfway through his term.

Mexico has become even more of a failed state under AMLO, his law enforcement approach has been basically to allow the Cartels to do whatever they want. Murder is even higher under him than it was before, and by current estimates Mexico City only controls about 2/3rds if the country.

The remaining 1/3rd is criminal anarchy.

Plus many of his concepts are a confused mess. He wants to improve living standards and education but his approach has led to to infrastructure declining, plus his inability to confront the teachers union means he cannot actually make any education reforms.

In his defense I think he means well, compared to the many of us predecessors who were straight crooks.
But he is clearly not up to the task. He means well, but a lot of his ideas are contradictory and bad, and his “hugs not bullets” has seen more even more bullets flying.

What he is doing is just not working very well.

Technically Barbados is Anglo American but I guess Caribbean is still included here.

Yeah. the Caribbean's included and its adjacent places mostly because there's nowhere else to put them and they barely need to show up.

Bahamas Parliament dissolved, early election scheduled for September 16th

Very CIA of you.

Yucatan votes to allow gay marriage (20-5), prohibit conversion therapy

[Kowani]

Bolsonaro: ""Everyone has to buy a rifle, man. Armed people will never be enslaved. I know it's expensive. There's an idiot: 'Oh, you have to buy beans.' Man, if you don't want to buy a rifle, don't bother people who do"

Bolsonaro: Pika?

That was an interesting rant and definitely made by someone who totally has his mind together

And this is why I have never cared about politics. I just want to flee from Mexico.

Every candidate/politician is the same, there is no way you will find someone clean on his record. And if some do then maybe they are still hiding it :/

This. Somehow.

Mind you, I'm not keen on the guy she helped depose either.

You have the same politics as my mom. Based.

i'm pretty sure he's trying to do a paramilitary movement but i don't think he's spent enough time preparing the institutions he'd need for that

Bolsonaro says he sees three alternatives for his future: winning the 2022 presidential elections, death or prison

Bolsonaro says he sees three alternatives for his future: winning the 2022 presidential elections, death or prison

or, rendered differently: death for as many as possible, death for me, or death for me

[Kilobugya]

Bolsonaro says he sees three alternatives for his future: winning the 2022 presidential elections, death or prison

He didn't include "losing the 2022 election but then trying to do a coup"... I guess that's the part he thinks so loud everyone knows about it but that shouldn't be said.

I think when he says winning the election, it includes that possibility.
