Hello, I'm Rosie Bloor.
I host The Intelligence, our daily news and current affairs podcast.
Welcome to Editor's Picks.
Here's an article handpicked from the latest edition of The Economist.
In little more than a year, seven Latin American countries have held presidential elections
and right-wingers have won them all.
Never has the regional pendulum swung so fast.
Barring Brazil and Mexico, nearly every sizable Latin country now has a leader
who either courts Donald Trump or sounds like him.
The latest is Abelado de la Espriella,
who was formally declared president-elect of Colombia on June 24th after a tight race.
He calls himself El Tigre and promises to hunt down gangsters in their burrows.
This Trumpian orange wave has risen because voters are sick of gangs and illegal migrants.
Centrists and leftists have failed to calm their fears.
Populists on the right offer tough-sounding solutions.
If Mr Trump can mass-deport migrants, they reason, why can't we?
If he can blow up drug boats, why shouldn't we be ruthless?
Such messages have proved popular, and leaders who imitate Mr. Trump tend to win his favour since imitation is flattery.
He loves that.
In economic matters, warm ties with the White House are clearly helpful.
