¿Quién Manda Aquí? / Who's the Boss Here? [Spanish]

Los presidentes en Latinoam rica tienen much simo poder... para emboscar a sus rivales, complotar, ocultar y robar. Pero, contra lo que suele creerse, disponen de muy poco margen de maniobra para hacer el bien. Qui n ha logrado reducir de forma sustancial los ndices de violencia, por ejemplo? Alguien ha conseguido acabar con el crimen organizado, consolidar las instituciones democr ticas, fortalecer los contrapesos del sistema pol tico o reducir la pobreza de forma radical y duradera en el tiempo?
