2. Good point.

With just 16 senators (out of 108) and 25 representatives (out of 172), his Historic Pact will need consensus from the Liberal Party, Greens and other moderate/progressive parties.

So like Argentina's Fernández, Chile's Boric, Peru's Castillo and Mexico's López Obrador, he'll no doubt have his share of congressional headaches (though with some notable successes).

And like the others, he'll almost certainly deliver a lot less change than what many of his supporters are expecting.

Politics. The art of the possible.

All the Best to him.
