LIMA – Across Latin America, voters who, until recently, were enthusiastic about their leftist governments seem to be having a change of heart.

In Bolivia, voters rejected President Evo Morales’s effort to amend the constitution so that he could seek another presidential term. And in Peru, no left-wing candidate made it into the second round of the presidential election, to be held on June 5.
