South America turns right

The political landscape in South America has recently been subjected to an ideological metamorphosis. Several countries have held elections in the last few months and the balance of power has dramatically shifted from left to right. Anti Trump , anti-conservative , very far left and rabidly pro-Palestinian governments have been defeated and a reversal of fortunes for Trump , his policies, his agenda and for Israel have exceeded the most hoped for expectations of those on the right.
Adding to the discomfort of Democrats and globalists, Trump’s dethroning of Maduro have created the conditions for Venezuela to extract itself from the corrupt, left wing fascism that ruined the country for decades into an acceptable socialism that even Trump can tolerate. The Maduro capture and the unfortunate and disastrous earthquake that followed created an environment that paved the way for Venezuela to reestablish relations with Israel, which only months ago under Maduro’s corrupt dictatorship was unthinkable. Venezuela were at the forefront of facilitating anti-Jewish state hysteria and assisting Iran and Hezbollah financially. All this has changed and given Israel’s prominent role is assisting Venezuela in her hour of need immediately after the earthquake, relations are more than friendly. This is quite remarkable.
And now we come to Brazil which has just gone through the first round of electoral voting leaving the current very left-wing government of Lula facing off with the opposition leader Bolsonaro and son of the former and jailed President of the same family name. Similar to the Trump – Harris Presidential election, the mainstream media had promoted Lula’s success driven by polls that suited their own ideological agenda. However, Bolsonaro triumphed easily in the first round and given that those other potential campaigners who have had to drop out were mostly on the right, it is probable that Brazil will also go from left to right by the end of Oct. Let’s briefly analyze the recent election changes on the continent of South America.

“Rodrigo Paz in Bolivia won the presidential runoff with 54.5%, ending nearly 20 years of rule by the left-wing Movement for Socialism (MAS). Paz is a centrist who supports private-sector growth, rather than an unequivocally right-wing politician.

In Chile José Antonio Kast won 58% in the presidential runoff against left-wing candidate Jeannette Jara. His victory marked a sharp shift to the right after the government of left-wing President Gabriel Boric.

Conservative candidate Keiko Fujimori in Peru won the presidential runoff against left-wing candidate Roberto Sánchez. She took office on 28 July 2026, extending the regional shift toward conservative leadership. Peru’s recent political history has been especially unstable, so the transition is not a simple reversal of one consistent left-wing administration.

Ecuador also held a presidential election in April 2025. Conservative President Daniel Noboa won re-election with about 56% of the vote against left-wing challenger Luisa González. However, Noboa had already won the presidency in 2023, so the 2025 result reinforced the existing direction rather than producing a new left-to-right transition”.

In Columbia the most left – wing country on the continent kicked out Gustavo Petro in June 2026 and elected a prominent conservative Abalardo de la Espriella. Costa Rica, Honduras and El Salvador have all followed the same pattern and Argentina and Paraguay are two other powerful right- wing governments. My bet is that Cuba, forced by Trump’s economic policies will have to ditch the extreme socialist policies that control the country as will Nicaragua who adopt Orwellian disorder within their borders. What we are witnessing in South America is nothing short of a political earthquake which must surely have resounded in Europe and the United Nations. Could this be the first real challenge to the globalists who have maintained a power base for the last two decades controlling world affairs.

Will Le Pen triumph in France and replicate the recent AFD successes in Germany. Basically, what I am asking is if Europe is ready to follow the examples of change, from left to right that we have witnessed in South America?

We wait in anticipation do we not?
