'Before the fake pandemic and closures began to shake the entire world, Latin America was immersed in a wave of protests, triggered by growing unrest amongst the populace, which was mainly due to poor government policies, electoral fraud, covert coup d’états, rising taxes and so-called economic reforms.

Was it merely a good excuse to silence all dissident voices, thanks to mandated closures and social distancing, and through the fear inculcated in misinformed citizens, who have been abandoned to their own devices?'
