Redacción The collapse of progressivism and the consolidation of a new Latin American right
The coffin for the pink tide from the right hand
The fall of Orsi's image, Noboa's reelection, and the Milei phenomenon mark a structural change in regional politics. Bolivia, Chile, and Honduras could be the next to join the shift.
The recent CB Opinión Pública poll caused concern among the left. Yamandú Orsi fell to third place in image, with 48.8% approval. Daniel Noboa (52.1%) and Javier Milei (49%) surpassed him.

Javier Milei's inauguration in 2023 marked a geopolitical milestone. His rise to power shook an Argentina sunk by statism, corruption, and chronic inflation.
The Milei phenomenon was not isolated. It caused a regional current that displaces progressive governments linked to the São Paulo Forum and the Puebla Group.
In Ecuador, Daniel Noboa was reelected in April 2025. His victory represents the rejection of 21st-century socialism, although he has not yet clearly positioned himself on the right.

In August, Bolivia will hold key presidential elections. MAS arrives weakened by internal disputes, corruption, and citizen fatigue.
A unified opposition could offer freedom to the country, putting an end to years of misery under authoritarian governments.
Gabriel Boric's government in Chile is in crisis. Legislative failures, two constitutional rejections, and a stagnant economy are sinking him.
Chilean citizens are showing signs of rejecting the left, although a clear alternative is still expected to emerge in the 2025 presidential elections.
Xiomara Castro's administration in Honduras has disappointed. Insecurity, corruption, and economic paralysis persist.
The Castro-Chavista model generates widespread distrust. The opposition must regroup with a project that promotes the ideas of freedom.
In Uruguay, Frente Amplio shows signs of exhaustion. Orsi is falling in image and after Mujica's death, leadership appears weakened.
Plataforma Por La Libertad is emerging as an alternative. It brings together liberals, conservatives, and patriots disenchanted with the status quo.
The youth movement is leading the change and could lead Uruguay to join the regional shift to the right in the upcoming elections.
Orsi's disapproval, Noboa consolidated, and the Milei phenomenon are signs of a new era. Latin America is shifting toward the defense of property, life, and individual freedom.
The left faces a crisis of leadership and results, while the new right capitalizes on citizen fatigue with a clear message of freedom.
