Lula and the Latin American Left

Hosted by the Ralph Miliband Programme and the Latin America and Caribbean Centre
Online and in-person public event (Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building)
Monday 07 Nov 2022 6.30pm - 8pm

Is Latin America experiencing a new pink tide? Can Lula make a dramatic political comeback in Brazil’s closely fought Presidential election? And why has Chile’s new left-wing President failed to secure revision of the Pinochet constitution? Our panel of experts consider the lessons for the left in Latin America and beyond.
