Democracies in the world at risk, says specialist

 


 “Today, democracy around the world is under threat, pressure and challenges, and Latin America is no exception, said Moisés Naím, in an interview with the digital portal El Mercurio.

 He also assured that it is very difficult for a democratic government to handle the consequences of a global impact pandemic, the economic repercussions, the pre-existing conditions that existed in Latin America when the pandemic arrived.

 e extended the explanation, ensuring that when the pandemic arrived the streets were already burning. The social protests, there was a very bad economic situation, and so on.

 Moisés Naím is a member of the think-thank Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, former editor of Foreign Policy magazine and former executive director of the World Bank, among other positions, the Venezuelan writer and economist Moisés Naím (1952).

 Latin America is going through a very complicated stage. Fortunately, in recent months the price of commodities has risen considerably, the most important export materials of a great majority of Latin American countries, which depends on its income for more than 50% from the sale of commodities.

 Naím commented that since prices are high, well, the economies are getting a little help. But as we know, commodity prices go up and down. When they go up there is merriment and when they go down there is misery. Hopefully they will slow down, but that is a historic cycle in Latin America, "he said.
