Governor Doria and delegation visit Germany

In his opinion piece, LADW chairman Andreas Renschler takes a look at the situation in Latin America.

New presidents in Brazil and Mexico are daring to make a fresh start on a grand scale which is bound to turn the entire region upside down.

The decisive electoral victories of Andrés Manuel López Obrador in Mexico and Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil indicate the faith that the people of both countries have placed in change.

New presidents have taken office in Mexico and Brazil. How they will govern remains unknown. One thing is for sure: they are bound to change Latin America’s political and economic climate.

Shortly after the electoral count, LADW Chairman Andreas Renschler commented on the severely polarising election in a FAZ guest article.

An ever more open society, a vigilant public, and an economy striving for growth is increasing the drive for political action.

The Brazilian economist Ricardo Sennes also addresses the elections in his country.

Before the turn of the millennium, China hardly existed as a trading partner, investor or political player in or to South America. The transformation has been swift.
