In a world in which more and more extremists are populating the political scene, it is unusual news: In the presidential election in Bolivia, the center-right candidate Rodrigo Paz Pereira prevailed against the also right-wing ex-president Tuto Quiroga, who had campaigned for “radical changes”. Both had announced an austerity and privatization program during the election campaign. But in the end, Quiroga may have seemed to some to be too much of a Bolivian version of the libertarian anarcho-capitalist Javier Milei, president of neighboring Argentina.
