are the last two episodes of a memorable election year: Ecuador and Nicaragua are in addition to a large group of countries that have veered far left: Venezuela's Chavez, Brazil's Lula, Kirchner's Argentina, Bolivia's Morales , Bachelet of Chile and Uruguay.
In Mexico, Obrador, candidate of the left has failed the target for a handful of votes for other achievements, probably, so fraudulent.
