Elecciones 2020: Un Efecto Moderado De La Covid Olivier Dabène
Elecciones 2020: Un efecto moderado de la Covid Olivier Dabène La pandemia ha perturbado el calendario electoral latinoamericano en el primer semestre de 2020. Seis países pospusieron elecciones, por razones que, además, incluían tanto precauciones sanitarias como cálculos políticos. Cuando y donde se celebraron elecciones, las campañas electorales fueron sombrías y la participación recayó en casi todos los países. Sin embargo, este año electoral 2020 no ha estado dominado demasiado por la pandemia. Otros temas han estado en el centro de los debates que explican los resultados.
