There is obviously a lesson here to be learned by other left-wing political movements and guerrilla groups in Latin America. The Socialist Party in Chile, the Workers Party in Brazil, the Broad Front in Uruguay, even Chávez in Venezuela and the PRD and FSLN in Mexico and Nicaragua, respectively, have shown that, after years of waiting, the left can win elections in Latin America.
但是，恐吓战术此次没有奏效。显然这是给拉美的其他左翼政治势力和游击组织上了一课。智利的社会党、巴西的工人党、乌拉圭的广泛阵线，甚至于委内瑞拉的查韦斯和墨西哥的PRD党和和尼加拉瓜的FSLN党都已向人们显示，经过多年的等待，左翼是可以在拉美赢得大选的。
