Delcy and Petro Met. For the Last Time?
Petro traveled to Caracas, gave Delcy the legitimacy she was looking for, and received a signed note in return.
This is the first issue of LatAm Explained I’ve written in a couple of weeks. I ended up taking an unplanned break and traveled to Perugia for the International Journalism Festival. There, I attended some great panels and met and reconnected with wonderful people. I also managed to take a few days off, so thank you for sticking around.
After these conversations, I decided to change how I run this newsletter. You’re used to a longer Monday issue with a main news analysis, three news recaps, and a cultural recommendation. The experts I met there suggested that posting more often would help us grow, so now each section will be its own issue: main pieces on Monday, recaps on Wednesday, and the cultural pieces on Friday.
More importantly, to grow on this platform, I was advised to activate paid subscriptions. The explanation is simple: Substack’s algorithm promotes them because that’s how they make money. But don’t worry: if you were subscribed to LatAm Explained before this week, you’ll always get it for free. Thanks for your support from the beginning.
I wanted to share these updates before diving into the news. Now, let’s get started.
