The problem with Latin America's left EL PAÍS USA EDITION

Dear readers, ‌On March 11, 2022, Gabriel Boric assumed power in Chile at only 36 years of age. He was the leader of a new Latin American left, a president destined to heal wounds. Two years later, reality has taken its toll. EL PAÍS interviewed Boric at La Moneda Palace to discuss what went wrong and the challenges that lie ahead: "On the left in general — and in Latin America in particular — there’s been a tendency not to take responsibility for one’s own mistakes." ‌ We also spoke with José Andrés, the celebrity chef who is spearheading an effort to bring desperately-needed relief to the Gaza Strip by sea. We  accompanied a Mexican police patrol on duty in a city where officers and criminals are fighting an all-out battle, and analyzed why major investors have suddenly fallen in love with the Japanese stock market. ‌ ‌Looking ahead to April 8, 2024, a Total Solar Eclipse will be visible across North America,  the first of its kind to be visible in the U.S. since August 21, 2017. We bring you details on the best and safest way to watch it. ‌ We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from El País USA Edition.
