This is excellent news, anything to keep the majority of South American nations from falling back into an extreme rightwing takeover and reversion to the bad old days of the 1% running those governments and stealing, plundering and controlling the natural resources which now benefit the majority, and while they're at it, sending tens of millions back into poverty and underfunded education.
