Colombia and Peru elect right-wing leaders as Latin America shifts rightward
Colombia and Peru have recently elected right-wing, Trump-aligned leaders in close contests, a trend analysts link to weakening centrist parties and rising public concern over crime rather than a clear ideological shift. Trump has reinforced the trend by hosting regional allies in Florida, though his tariffs on Brazil backfired, boosting leftist President Lula's popularity. Brazil's October election is seen as a key test of whether Latin America's rightward drift will continue.
