Highlights
- Mexico's new government will try to amend the constitution and allow more referendums. These moves could disrupt energy and public works projects.
- In the case of Mexican energy projects, a hostile federal government could intensify the threat to those investments.
- In Brazil, the new government's policies will inflame the political left and lead to mass protests in major cities. As a result, some business workers could face violence, especially on indigenous lands.
