I mean, this is not surprising. Latin America is more culturally tied to Europe and North America, where the political systems of the kind you describe are more common, than it is to anywhere else in the world.

Why would we expect politics in Chile or Mexico to be more similar to Iran or Turkey just because they look more alike on superficial economic indicators?

GLOBAL SOUTH, though!

Yes, the bottom line is that Bukele's predecessors should never have let crime get as bad as it did.
