No path ahead
No words better describe the political scene
this hot and steamy Nicaraguan summer
than those of Rubén Darío—”No path ahead”—
from “Lo fatal” (Fatalism), his most dramatic poem.
We don’t know how November’s elections will unfold
much less what might happen afterward...
We don’t even know if there will be elections.
And Nature is beginning to bill us for our abuse of her
by exhausting the water that is so essential for
life to continue along its path.

a “protectorate,” turning it into a more livable country
with fewer emigrants heading north.

Berta Cáceres: An indomitable woman with a statesperson’s nature
If one were to think of a candidate
for the presidency of the Republic
who would represent the interests and desires
of the nation as a whole and all its people
but from the perspective of the poorest,
that would’ve been Berta Cáceres,
“the Guardian girl of the rivers.”
She was indomitable and incorruptible.
And that’s why they killed her.

Ecuador: A citizens’ revolution …without citizens?
Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa runs the risk of wanting
to implement his Citizen’s Revolution even without citizens....
or with submissive ones who don’t fight for their rights,
just accepting whatever is given to them.
Analyzing the features of the Ecuadoran model,
one more of the 21st-century socialisms,
one more of the ALBA countries,
reveals the limitations of this trend
the author classifies as a generator
of the most brilliant period of history
of the Latin American Left
