When in 2016, the Network for Political Innovation for Latin America was created, there were already dark clouds on the horizon after the end of the pink tide across the region.
This week, the third Meeting for Political Innovation will take place in Mexico City, and will bring together social leaders, politicians and activists from across Latin America who will face the challenge of rethinking political innovation in the region in a context of democratic backslides, repression and inequality.
The cases of Brazil, Venezuela and Nicaragua are particularly worrying. In Colombia, the quality of democracy is also suffering, and in Argentina, four months from the presidential elections, the economy has plummeted and apathy is widespread.
