## Regional Summary

**The Performance of Authority**

Governments that cannot resolve a crisis reach instead for the instruments of authority — constitutional law, judicial orders, executive decrees — and perform control they do not quite have. The performance can be impressive. The crises keep coming.

Mark Carney's week illustrates this most clearly. His approval stands at 57%, the Liberals are 10 points ahead of the Conservatives, and he named Louise Arbour — former Supreme Court justice and chief prosecutor of the international criminal tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda — as the next Governor General, saying: "institutions are the load-bearing walls of a civil society." It is the language of a leader who feels he is defending something, and he may be right. Daniel Rogers, the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, warned that Russia and the United States are amplifying Alberta's separatist movement, which submitted over 300,000 signatures — enough to trigger a referendum — while senior American officials met openly with separatist leaders. But institutional confidence does not cure economic pain. Honda confirmed it is cancelling a planned \$15bn electric vehicle plant in Ontario because of American tariffs; unemployment hit 6.9%, a six-month high, as the economy shed 17,700 jobs; and a cross-party vote in the House of Commons signalled that the government's loan-based response to the tariff shock falls well short. Invoking the Clarity Act is not the same as having an industrial policy that works.

Brazil offers the region's sharpest paradox. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva flew to Washington, spent three hours with the American president, generated 8 million social media interactions, and came home without a signed agreement, a joint press conference, or tariff relief — only a newly formed working group and a promise to meet again within 30 days. For a leader five months from a first-round election, the trip was a success on appearances. The harder fight was at home. Congress overrode Lula's veto of the Dosimetry law — which would have reduced sentences for those convicted over the January 8th coup attempt — by comfortable margins in both chambers. Alexandre de Moraes, the Supreme Court justice overseeing the case, suspended the legislation within 24 hours by single-justice order, without waiting for the full court to deliberate. Government allies called it a victory for democracy; the opposition called it a judicial stroke of the pen. Both descriptions land. The court is defending democratic institutions through a procedure — one judge overriding the legislature in a day — that looks less like democracy and more like veto power in robes. That argument is now running across 30 outlets and inverting the January 8th narrative: the convicts become victims, the judiciary the aggressor. None of the underlying tensions are resolved.

In Mexico and Chile, the same impulse — reach for executive authority when ordinary politics gets inconvenient — takes rawer forms. On Mother's Day, Claudia Sheinbaum declared before thousands of supporters in Sonora that violence against women was "finished." The same morning, thousands of women marched in Mexico City carrying the names of more than 133,000 missing people. She spent the rest of the week managing the Rocha crisis by not discussing it, leaving hospital openings without speaking to reporters. Meanwhile, Pemex's exposure became impossible to ignore: American regulatory filings — not a government announcement — revealed that a renamed Pemex subsidiary is exporting roughly 15,000 barrels of crude a day to Cuba, worth \$500m this year and \$1.5bn since 2023. With formal trade talks beginning the week of May 25th, American negotiators now have documentary evidence that Pemex is an instrument of foreign policy rather than a commercial company. In Chile, Jorge Quiroz, the finance minister, warned that if the National Reconstruction Plan failed, the government would keep governing all the same — "there is also management and there are also decrees," he said. José Antonio Kast, the president, went further: he would not limit executive action to one area but would act "broadly across all administrative acts." The threat may be a negotiating tactic. It may not be.

The outlook is not reassuring. Brazil's October election is five months away and no polling yet captures the congressional defeats of recent weeks or the Washington trip. Mexico's trade talks begin May 25th with the Pemex problem now documented in American regulatory filings. Alberta's referendum machinery is moving, with foreign interference confirmed and a treaty ruling pending. In each case, the opposition is learning the lesson the governing parties have not: that the gap between the performance of authority and its substance is the most exploitable political ground available.

The Alberta Prosperity Project submitted over 300,000 signatures to Elections Alberta this week — enough to trigger a referendum on independence — and Mark Carney responded by invoking the Clarity Act: any referendum in Canada, he said, must comply with federal law, and he intends to ensure the "no" side wins.

Mr Carney enters this confrontation from an unusually strong position. A new Abacus Data poll of 2,478 respondents put Liberal approval at 57%, the highest since he took office, with the party 10 points ahead of the Conservatives and most Canadians saying his government represents a genuine break from the Trudeau years. The Conservative floor is eroding too: 30% of past Conservative voters now want Pierre Poilievre replaced as leader, up from 18% in August, and his favourability among his own party's voters has dropped from 88% to 75%. A Treaty 8 First Nations court order is blocking signature verification — a ruling on whether the petition violates treaty rights is expected soon — and polls show only about 25% of Albertans support independence, suggesting the petition may be more a pressure tactic than a genuine sovereignty drive.

What complicates that reading is the security dimension. Daniel Rogers, the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), warned that the October referendum is a prime target for foreign interference — naming Russia and the United States as active threats, not the usual suspects of China and India. A joint research report described Russia's engagement as "doctrinal, operational and sustained," using state-aligned networks to amplify genuine regional grievances. The same report described US influencers as "pouring fuel" from outside, and senior American administration officials met with Alberta separatist leaders and publicly endorsed their cause. The warning transforms what might have been a manageable domestic dispute into a documented security concern.

Mr Carney's response to the constitutional pressure has been deliberately institutional. He named Louise Arbour, 79 — former Supreme Court justice, chief prosecutor of the international criminal tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and UN Human Rights Commissioner — as the next Governor General. He framed the appointment in unusually direct terms: "institutions are the load-bearing walls of a civil society." Ms Arbour said it would be a privilege to be present "if we face adversity." Quebec sovereigntist parties questioned the relevance of the office; English Canada broadly praised the credentials. Separately, Mr Carney confirmed that senators will remain outside the Liberal caucus, preserving the Trudeau-era independent Senate model and closing one area of institutional uncertainty.

The week's sharpest reversal came on the economy. Honda confirmed it is cancelling a planned \$15 billion electric vehicle plant in Ontario, citing US tariffs — a direct setback to the industrial strategy, and an unwelcome signal arriving within days of the Canada Strong Fund announcement designed to draw private investment into strategic sectors. Statistics Canada reported April unemployment at 6.9%, a six-month high, as the economy shed 17,700 jobs. Central banks in Australia and Norway raised rates or signalled hikes in response to Middle East energy disruption, raising pressure on the Bank of Canada and increasing borrowing costs for the deficit-financed infrastructure strategy. Mélanie Joly, the industry minister, announced \$1.5 billion in tariff relief — \$1 billion in low-interest loans through the Business Development Bank of Canada, \$500 million topping up a regional response fund — but industry groups said the loans did not go far enough, and a Bloc Québécois motion demanding direct aid for small businesses passed unanimously in the House, a cross-party signal that the loan-based response falls short of the shock.

Mr Carney refined his position on the United States at the Global Progress Action Summit in Toronto, signalling that Canada was "open to deeper integration with the US in some sectors" ahead of the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) review. This is the first explicit acknowledgment that selective engagement with Washington is possible within the broader push to diversify trade — a negotiating clarification, not a retreat. Formal CUSMA talks have not yet begun, with roughly seven weeks to the July 1 review. Trade diversification did advance on one front: Airbus Canada signed a 150-aircraft deal with AirAsia — the largest single order in the A220 programme's history — with all aircraft assembled at Mirabel, Quebec, employing nearly 5,000 workers. Mr Carney attended the announcement with Christine Fréchette, Quebec's premier, and framed it as evidence that Canada is building trade ties in South-East Asia. Airbus Canada's chief executive acknowledged the programme has not yet turned a profit.

### <img src="https://flagcdn.com/br.svg" alt="Brazil flag" style={{ width: "24px", height: "18px", display: "inline", verticalAlign: "middle", marginRight: "8px" }} /> Brazil

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva flew to Washington on May 7 for a three-hour meeting with the American president — his first White House sit-down this term — and came home without a joint press conference, without a signed agreement, and without a resolution on tariffs, but with something potentially more valuable: a statesman image five months before Brazil votes.

The meeting closed no open files. The American president posted that it went "very well" but provided few specifics. Both sides agreed to meet within 30 days on tariffs — a working group that did not previously exist, but well short of relief. Joesley Batista, the Brazilian billionaire behind JBS, reportedly helped broker the encounter, suggesting the agribusiness lobby was as invested in smoothing relations as any foreign ministry official. Lula proposed a joint counter-narcotics group and framed Brazil's rare earth minerals as open to investment from "any country that wants to invest in them" — an offer that gave Washington a competitive position in strategic resources without an exclusive one, consistent with his government's non-aligned stance.

The domestic reception split as expected. The Workers' Party (PT) is positioning Lula as a statesman; the encounter generated 8 million social media interactions. The opposition has not yet settled on a response. No unified line has emerged, though right-wing outlets have begun framing the visit as Lula going to Washington and returning empty-handed on tariffs. One centrist outlet argued it was "safer to continue with Lula than to opt for Flávio" — a sign the meeting may be changing how centrist voters weigh their options.

Even as Lula landed back in Brasília, the more consequential drama was unfolding at home. On May 8, Davi Alcolumbre, the Senate president, promulgated Law 15.402 — the so-called Dosimetry law — after Congress overrode Lula's veto by comfortable margins: 318 to 257 in the lower house, 49 to 41 in the Senate. The law would have substantially reduced sentences for the roughly 280 people convicted over the January 8 coup attempt, mandating concurrent rather than cumulative sentencing for related offences and cutting sentences by a third to two-thirds for participants who neither financed nor led the action.

Alexandre de Moraes, the Supreme Court justice assigned as rapporteur, suspended the law within 24 hours by single-justice order — without waiting for the full court to deliberate — after constitutional challenges filed by the Workers' Party, the Socialism and Liberty Party-Sustainability Network (PSOL-Rede), and the Brazilian Press Association. Flávio Bolsonaro called it a "judicial canetada" — a stroke of the pen — that "undermines democracy." Government allies called it "a victory for democracy." Both, in their own way, are accurate.

The exchange illustrates a paradox now at the centre of Brazilian politics: the Supreme Court is defending democratic institutions through methods — a single justice suspending enacted legislation within a day, bypassing full court review — that the opposition can credibly frame as anti-democratic overreach. That story now dominates pre-election coverage across some 30 outlets, and it directly inverts the January 8 story: the convicts become victims of political persecution; the judiciary becomes the aggressor.

The constitutional conflict has pulled in all three branches. Congress showed it can override the executive at comfortable margins. The Supreme Court showed it can suspend that override within hours. The executive activated allied parties to challenge constitutionality. None of the underlying tensions are resolved — they are suspended, pending the full court's review.

Meanwhile, the government has been spending. Provisional Measure 1355 — dubbed "Novo Desenrola Brasil" (New Brazil Debt Relief) — targets people earning up to five minimum wages who are between three months and two years behind on credit card, overdraft, or personal loan payments, requiring banks to offer discounts in exchange for programme participation. It follows last week's R\$17 billion credit line for commercial fleet renewal — two spending measures outside the fiscal framework, each aimed at a different slice of the electorate, in as many weeks. Fernando Haddad, the finance minister, is running the programme. The October 4 first round is five months out.

Whether any of this is working remains unknown. No polling has yet captured either the congressional defeats of recent weeks or the White House meeting. The first approval ratings — expected shortly — will tell more about where this race stands than anything that happened in Washington or Brasília this week.

The decision deepened the executive-legislature-judiciary conflict, with Flávio Bolsonaro calling the suspension a "judicial canetada" — a stroke of the pen — that "undermines democracy," while government allies called it "a victory for democracy."

### <img src="https://flagcdn.com/cl.svg" alt="Chile flag" style={{ width: "24px", height: "18px", display: "inline", verticalAlign: "middle", marginRight: "8px" }} /> Chile

Chile's National Reconstruction Plan cleared its first committee vote this week, then ran into its most serious resistance yet, prompting Jorge Quiroz, the finance minister, to float governing by decree if the bill fails.

Mr Quiroz told a seminar that if the plan did not pass, "we will keep governing just the same, because there is also management and there are also decrees." José Antonio Kast amplified the threat, saying he would not limit executive action "to one area, but would do it broadly across all administrative acts."

Separately, the Republican Party and its president Arturo Squella negotiated a ceasefire with the disputed Segundo Piso adviser Irarrázaval. *([biobiochile.cl](https://www.ex-ante.cl/la-imparable-ofensiva-de-matthei-contra-kast-y-el-equipo-que-la-asesora/))*

### <img src="https://flagcdn.com/mx.svg" alt="Mexico flag" style={{ width: "24px", height: "18px", display: "inline", verticalAlign: "middle", marginRight: "8px" }} /> Mexico

On Mother's Day, Claudia Sheinbaum declared before thousands of supporters in Sonora that violence against women was "finished." The same morning, thousands of women searching for the disappeared marched in Mexico City carrying the names of more than 133,000 missing people.

The 14th National Dignity March — organised by 90 collectives from 26 Mexican states and three Central American countries — drew Reuters and AP wire coverage framed explicitly around the World Cup. Guadalajara hosts group-stage matches from June 18, five weeks away, and international outlets are already using the tournament to focus attention on Mexico's disappearances record. The government has announced no security framework for the event. The families demanded a meeting with the president; she made no commitment.

She spent most of the week managing the Rocha crisis by not discussing it. Her Sonora tour produced tangible results — a new Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) hospital with 28 specialties and 498 specialists, a Yaqui land restitution decree adding 239 hectares (bringing the total to 45,794), the opening of an aqueduct serving the Seri-Comca'ac community, and the first stage of a 6.5bn-peso irrigation project — but at the hospital inauguration she left without speaking, avoiding reporters' questions on both the former governor and a school calendar dispute. When Isabel Díaz Ayuso, Madrid's regional president, visited Mexico, paid tribute to Hernán Cortés, and then accused the government of a "climate of boycott" after cutting her trip short, Ms Sheinbaum used the episode to press the same argument, telling critics: "There are Mexicans who think Mexico began when the Spaniards arrived." The Yaqui decree and the anti-colonial rhetoric landed in the same news cycle, the sovereignty message reinforcing the policy record. Grupo Xcaret denied receiving any instruction from the government, and the government confirmed the visit had taken place "in total freedom." The left-wing Más Madrid coalition sent a public letter of apology to the president.

Security operations spanned three fronts. The navy recorded its fourth consecutive cocaine seizure off Guerrero's Pacific coast in a single week — 89 bales in total, 65.5 tonnes seized at sea since the administration took office. In Culiacán, federal police were ambushed by a Mayos faction cell linked to a figure known as Mayito Flaco while investigating a kidnapping ring; two attackers were killed, one detained, and a vehicle marked with the cell's initials was seized along with five rifles, 41 magazines, and a grenade. Gunfire struck a property linked to Rocha Moya in a separate incident the same day — it had been unoccupied for over a decade. In Morelos, a joint operation arrested Rodolfo "Don Ramón," leader of a cell that had been moving drugs to San Antonio, El Paso, Atlanta, and North Carolina; two federal agents were wounded. Omar García Harfuch, the security secretary, flew by helicopter to visit them in hospital unannounced. The week also required correcting an earlier finding: Mr García Harfuch said in Culiacán — confirmed by Aristegui Noticias, La Jornada, and Reforma — that the government had "no indication, data, or threat" linking Rocha Moya to organised crime, directly contradicting an earlier, less reliably sourced claim that the National Defense Secretariat had been monitoring the former governor. Given that gap in sourcing, that finding is withdrawn.

The economy produced two signals, one confirmatory and one new. On May 7, Banco de México cut its benchmark rate 25 basis points to 6.50%, completing 475 basis points of cuts since May 2024, and the board's statement said it "considers it will be appropriate to maintain the reference rate at its current level" — language that analysts at Franklin Templeton, Monex, and Moody's Analytics read as a formal end-of-cycle signal. The two dissenters, Jonathan Heath and Galia Borja, cited inflation at 4.59% against a 3% target, with convergence now pushed to the second quarter of 2027. The peso closed near two-year highs at around 17.19 to the dollar. Mexico enters formal United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) review negotiations the week of May 25 with a strong currency and a central bank on hold.

The announcement that Pemex would consolidate its roughly 40 subsidiaries into three or four also brought another fact to light: Gasolinas Bienestar was renamed Servicios Logísticos Integrales Mumiya on March 31. The renamed subsidiary exported roughly 15,000 barrels a day of crude and 2,200 barrels a day of refined products to Cuba in 2025, worth \$500m — and \$1.5bn cumulatively since 2023, according to Pemex's own filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Ms Sheinbaum acknowledged the exports and said the subsidiary would continue. The disclosure came not through any government announcement but through Pemex's SEC filing obligations, meaning US regulators have been able to see it throughout. With USMCA talks two weeks away, the arrangement gives American negotiators a ready argument that Pemex is an instrument of foreign policy rather than a commercial energy company. Separately, a federal appeals court upheld the government's claim over a property belonging to Emilio Lozoya, the former Pemex director, valued at 51.7m pesos and bought with funds tied to a bribery scandal in which Pemex overpaid \$275m for a fertiliser plant under the previous government — a useful counter-narrative in a week dominated by the Rocha affair.

Economic diversification kept moving, out of the headlines. Marcelo Ebrard, the economy minister, led a commercial mission to Toronto and Montreal, signing seven agreements with Canadian pharmaceutical companies including Apotex and Biotec Canada, covering drug ingredient production and health digitisation. France reactivated a customs training programme; Germany deepened a technology alliance in quantum computing and biotechnology; the UK confirmed a trade continuity agreement. The US Department of Transportation formally recognised Felipe Ángeles International Airport as part of the Mexico City metropolitan airport system. The Senate closed its second ordinary period with 50 legislative items passed — including four constitutional reforms covering the 40-hour workweek, pension caps, mandate revocation, and a General Law on Feminicide — and the Permanent Commission is now weighing an extraordinary session to change the date of the 2027 judicial elections, citing cost estimates of 8bn to 9bn pesos and concerns about electoral logistics. None of these developments made domestic headlines. All will shape Mexico's position when formal negotiations begin in two weeks.
