Today Gustavo Petro meets with Nicolás Maduro. Lula 13 is likely to recognize #Maduro in early January. The left governs the 7 most populous states in #LatinAmerica . Regional solidarity with #Venezuela 's democracy wanes further. Worth rereading this. csis.org/analysis/madur…

#Brazil : No sign of Jair M. Bolsonaro 2️⃣2️⃣. It's likely he's deciding on his next steps. There could be inter-family differences on how to proceed. My take has always been that there won't be 'a Brazilian January 6th.' Statements from political leaders and conservatives have boxed B in.
Lots of talk about democratic backsliding in #Brazil . Comparatively less about #Mexico . Andres Oppenheimer's latest on #AMLO is worth reading. 'Dismantling the INE would take Mexico back to the old days when an almighty ruling party could rig elections at will.'miamiherald.com/news/local/new…

“Yet #China , formerly a principal source of #Brazil ’s spending during the commodity boom of the early 2000s, may no longer be able to play that role.” Good piece by Isabel Bernhard. Irrespective of who wins China isn’t coming to the rescue in Brazil theglobalamericans.org/2022/10/how-us…
