The “end of the world” finally arrived, and it wasn’t pretty.

"The [Supreme Court] tried to get the legislature out of the mix...When they find their laws inconvenient, they just change them," says AS/COA's Eric Farnsworth.

"Today, the vote isn’t just [based on] promises about the future, but the fact that life has the potential of getting worse,” points out AS/COA's Eric Farnsworth.

Although Lenín Moreno's win is now official, his rival Guillermo Lasso is crying foul. 

Anything that calls into question Haiti’s commitment to democracy will make it easier for budget cutters in Washington to reduce U.S. assistance there, says AS/COA’s Eric Farnsworth.

Although the Supreme Court reversed its decision to take over Congress, it still granted President Nicolás Maduro the ability to approve new oil deals and get some much-needed cash.
