 Brazilian President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is considered the most outstanding leader by Latin Americans according to the latest edition of the public opinion poll Latinbarometer 2008 which was released this week in Chile.
The King of Spain Juan Carlos who was top of the list for the last three years has dropped to second place followed by Spanish president Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, Chile's Michelle Bachelet and Paraguay's recently elected president and former Catholic bishop Fernando Lugo..
According to the 1 to 7 scale, Brazil's leader scored 5.9, the King, 5.7 and the Spanish, Chilean and Paraguayan presidents 5.5, in that order.
For the first time Argentina's Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has also been ranked but with 4.7 points.
Colombia's Alvaro Uribe scored 5.3, followed by Ecuador's Rafael Correa, Mexico's Felipe Calderón and Uruguay's Tabare Vazquez with 5 points. Evo Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous president stands with 4.8.
Peruvian President Alan García and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez are tied with 4.3 while former Cuban president Fidel Castro and outgoing US president George Bush also tie but at 4.2.
Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega figures with 4 points but this was before he was formally accused by the opposition of committing fraud in the recent municipal elections of November 9.
The opinion poll was taken between September first and October 11, in all countries of the region and included 20.204 personal interviews, considered 100% representative of the different populations.

As Latin America....best leader, or as World's Best Leader ?
And I did not know yet that the USA is considered as a Latin America country ......" outgoing US president George Bush also tie but at 4.2."
But in view of the ranking...No doubt the USA is a Latin America Country.......as per the Disinformation & Propaganda Dept at the Planalto Palacio, next to Robin the Crook office.
And quite funny that Spain is ranked, not Portugal ! Hmmmm.
But coming from idiots, junkies, scammers, manipulators and more importantly corrupted to the roots people, who got their SP University in....a detergent pack....nothing is suprising !
Not surprising either then that nothing work in Latin America except corruption, crimes and poverty...and and and...bureaucracy ! I should say...bureaucrazy !
