It's just telling the people what they want to hear. Just saying you'll end corruption once and for all will give you lots of followers. What happens after you win, who cares.

The previous president, Alberto, was (afaik) equally loved by the public, made promises about improvement, corruption, blah blah. Made things worse, now it's turn for the next guy.

People in South America are already stupid, disconnected & uninformed. No need to make things worse, just maintain the status quo.

Outside of economics, his proposed social politics are so crowd-pleasing, it makes me wonder if he just promised to make abortion illegal just because he wanted votes. Like, why would he care?
