Answer 1

The correct answer is, let’s take the cases of Mexico and Argentina.

Mexico has had a major change of power in the presidency in the last elections of 2018, with the victory of a left-sided party called MORENA. The Revolutionary Party (PRI) governed the country for 70 years. It lost the presidency for the first time in 2000 to the right-sided party called National Action (PAN). In 2012, and due to the bad conditions of the country, official national party PRI won again and had 6 disastrous years that made people angry. Andres Manuel Lopez from MORENA left-sided party won the elections in 2018 with a record-setting 53% of the votes.  

The case of Argentina is more critical. The economic situation is very poor and people is getting angry. Since 1991 that the Argentina peso pegged the dollar, things have been worse. President Carlos Menem had two terms both the economic conditions did not improve. The next presidents, Fernando de la Rua and Nestor Kirchner couldn’t do so much and the economy stayed in recession. In a controversial decision, Cristina Kirchnner, wife of former president Nestor, won the election and at the end of her tenure, she was accused of mismanaging of national resources. Mauricio Macri is the actual President and has taken controversial measures that had reduced the money in people’s pockets.
