That was the trade unionist candidate right? Apparently the gunman has died in police custody before he could be questioned.

Anti-corruption figure killed days before election amid sharp rise in violent and organised crime

quote:

The assassination comes amid a shocking surge in violent crime in the small South American country, as rival drug-trafficking gangs perpetrate prison massacres and murder rates have more than doubled between 2020 and 2022. Lasso said after Wednesday’s killing: “Organised crime has gone too far but they will feel the full weight of the law.”

love how every single article just says 'he was against drug trafficking gangs who threatened him, gosh gangs sure are a scary problem!'

quote:

Fernando Alcibiades Villavicencio Valencia (11 October 1963 – 9 August 2023) was an Ecuadorian politician, trade unionist and journalist

quote:

After college, he was one of the founders of the Pachakutik Party in 1995

quote:

The party's core commitments are to environmentalism, social justice and indigenous rights to recognition and land

quote:

In 2015, Cynthia Viteri and Villavicencio sent secret documents to WikiLeaks showing that Ecuador was using an Italian company to run a surveillance program that was spying on journalists and political enemies, in addition to spying on Julian Assange in the embassy

quote:

A day prior to his death, Villavicencio made a report to the Justice Ministry about an unnamed oil business

china provides something much more dangerous to the us than boots on the ground and the threat of a hot war with a peer power: it provides countries with an opportunity to develop their own economies. the whole western order is built on the assumption that cheap materials can be extracted from global south and those countries will be kept at subsistence level of development forever. by providing economic development china not only undermines the foundations of the dollar system but it makes global south countries coup proof. turns out all people really want is a sense that things are getting better for themselves and the people they care about. one weird trick to jumpstart socialist transformation, the imf hates it!!

Javier Milei delivers blow to Argentina’s main coalitions in primaries

Miles is the libertarian economist who wants Argentina to ditch the peso and adopt the US Dollar as its currency.

He's currently leading in today's primary vote.

oh no, voting is compulsory in Argentina so these could be accurate results for the general.i think he gets le Pen'd in a runoff but that could be a lot of seats for his party

Milei has a decent shot in Argentina but since he’s getting elected on an I Will Fix The Multiple Simultaneous Crises platform and he will absolutely not fix any of the crises, let alone all of them, he’s going to get the boot too.

lasso really is just going full dictator in ecuador though. not good!

Argentina’s Milei Says He’d Reject ‘Assassin’ China, Leave Mercosur


quote:

(Bloomberg) -- Argentina’s presidential frontrunner Javier Milei would freeze relations with China and pull South America’s second-biggest economy out of the Mercosur trade bloc with Brazil, foreign policy proposals that are as radical as his economics.

This guy is going to torpedo relations with Argentina’s two largest trade partners.
