Welcome back to the Domingo Brief! One Andean country votes today for its ninth president in eight years, a glacier-protection law just collapsed in another country to make way for $18B in copper, and an island under blockade quietly built itself a new electrical grid. A separate Andean presidency is buckling 72 hours into a fiscal cascade. Plus: a Gulf sovereign fund just doubled its biggest regional bet despite the war at home, the copper market the world counts on hit a nine-year low, and one government's flagship education claim turns out smaller than the headline.

Each Sunday issue of the Domingo Brief curates the most important stories shaping Latin America — economics, politics, business, and markets — with original Latinometrics data analysis on every story, plus venture-capital and startup funding updates, a trivia question, and curated reading picks sourced from the best local and international outlets.
