Just to clarify, while I am sympathetic to these pink wave leaders that at least currently appear to be genuinely interested in improving the lives of a very poverty-stricken continent I in no way support throwing your country's economy down the toilet for the sake of improving lives as quickly as possible. While I see the heartwarming intent behind these pensions I also see how easily it's going to be abused which is not good in a nation that really doesn't need an underclass right now.

Oh fantastic, a notoriously inept Government is further injecting itself into the daily lives of its citizens by monetizing familial relations to gain popularity amongst Feminists in the west. I don't see how this could go wrong.

Also, he died in March. I don't know if this is part of his legacy.

I think the important thing is that SOMETHING is happening to change the issues, as opposed to the lack of things happening so many other places.

No, I'd disagree there. There's a fairly common misconception that change in a bad situation is always good even when it's simply for the sake of change. Venezuela breaking off bits of its economy sandwich so that Juan and Carla have something to feed their children is all well and good but when that sandwich runs out the family's kind of screwed for the future.

Yes but these are terrorist organizations and not the legitimate leaders of either Peru or Colombia. So it's not a fair comparison in respect of what is being discussed.
