@Discombobulated - As far as the mayoral, regional governor and city council elections, it is being portrayed as a progressive vs. conservative divide. I see two different things going on, however. There definitely was a rejection of the conservatives, some mayoral incumbents that are closely aligned with the President’s center-right coalition lost and I am sure that is related to his very low approval ratings and handling of the pandemic. At the same time it did feel like a wider rejection of traditional political parties with many younger independents without much political experience winning.

There were a lot of strange candidates that wanted to rewrite the constitution. In some cases, you would just scratch your head and say why does this person think they are in any way qualified to write a constitution? In the end, there were a few outlier weirdos chosen, but there were a lot of lawyers (the greatest %), along with educators, doctors, sociologists, journalists, etc. I will have to find the breakdown, I know I saw it somewhere. It’s going to be a while before we see what the new constitution will look like. Then there will be a vote to approve it. Basically, we won’t know for a while what it’s going to look like. Even so, our currency has fallen as has the stock market here, so I guess investors and the world at large is concerned about what might happen.

Just my 2 cents 😊 . . .
