Lula and the Latin American Left
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.
