52:25Now Playing#Chile #NATO #Gabriel Boric
Chile and indeed the tide in Latin America!
First broadcast on Monday 7th February 2022
Pink tide in Latin America appears to be rising for the second time.
There was great rejoicing in Chile when President Gabriel Boric decisively won the presidency of that country.
The coming to power of a socialist president in Chile has been the cause of great rejoicing , but of course it is not the only flower now emerging in Latin America, indeed one could say that with the failure of the United States attempt to overthrow the government in Venezuela that now from Mexico downwards there is a distinct re-rising of that “pink” tide, I say pink because it is definitely not red and indeed the new Chilean president isn’t “red” either.
The question is, will the stand up to the inevitable attempts by the oligarchy to return to power to reverse that tide, or will the presidency in Washington and its security apparatus take a hand in some of these countries that have now elected - in some cases re-elected - progressive left of centre governments?

SOME TALKING POINTS:
- Is Gabriel Boric's victory due to his own fame or political views - or perhaps is owed to the widespread economic hardship in Chile?
- Is there any relationship between this victory and other leftists gains in other countries of Latin America in recent years?
- Some analysts argue that the China’s presence in Latin America is playing a role in the latest leftists achievement. How much influence or presence China has in Chile?
- Can this victory increase China’s influence in the region and undermine the hegemony of US in Chile and Latin America further?
- Would this shift of power in Latin America make it harder for the US to continue isolating governments in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba?
