A discussion with two specialists, Gaspard Estrada and Sandrine Morel, at the Germaine-Tillion Library as part of Les Jeudis de l'actualité.
As part of the Les Jeudis de l’actualité series and in partnership with Courrier international: "Following the ‘pink wave’ of the early 21st century, much of the subcontinent swung to the right in 2025 and 2026, in what appears to be a logical continuation of Donald Trump’s return to power in the Etats-Unis. While he has openly interfered in electoral processes, helping Javier Milei win the midterm elections in Argentine, as well as contributing to the victories of José Antonio Kast in Chili, Nasry Asfura in Honduras, Aberlado de la Espriella in Colombie and Keiko Fujimori in Pérou, Amérique latine’s shift primarily reflects changing voter priorities. Voters are demanding order, security and economic growth, and have lost faith in democracy. Their leading role model is the authoritarian president of Salvador, Nayib Bukele, who crushed the gangs at the expense of democracy and human rights protections." With Gaspard Estrada, a political scientist, member of the Global South Unit at the London School of Economics and coordinator of América Latina. Mirar al futuro, Presses de la Fondation Felipe Gonzalez, Madrid; and Sandrine Morel, head of the Amérique latine desk at Courrier international. She reads and speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese. She was Le Monde’s correspondent for Espagne and Portugal, based in Madrid, from 2010 to 2025. She has also contributed to Le Nouvel Obs, La Dépêche du Midi and other media outlets. She is the author of the essay En el huracán catalan (Planeta, 2018). The discussion will be moderated by Julien Abiramia of Courrier international; Credits: Courrier international
