TL;DR
- The perceived risk of radical alternation in the 2026 presidential election is lower than in 2018 and 2022.
- There is no radical aspirant with the political drive or unified support seen in a previous candidate.
- The current radical candidate faces challenges due to past associations and controversial proposals.
- Other candidates are seen as more experienced, knowledgeable, and trustworthy, with potential for liberal and progressive reforms.
- Institutions like the courts and the independent central bank can mitigate risks, even if a radical wins.
- The Constitution, military, police, and registrar's office have demonstrated resilience, reducing threats to their integrity.
