At that assembly attended by members of that New Left motion, higher often known as los Chuchosto evaluate the results of the elections, Zambrano insisted that he by no means thought they might have these outcomes, which is why the polls and “the optical phantasm” of the complete squares and the pink tide confirmed.

However the enthusiasm and conviction to proceed combating for a democracy that’s now threatened remains to be alive.”
