Tucked into South America\u2019s northern coast, the former Dutch colony rarely attracts major international attention. But this vote was different: A string of recent oil discoveries off Suriname\u2019s shores had investors watching the results closely.<\/p>\n<p>Oil extraction from the country\u2019s first major offshore project, which is run by France\u2019s TotalEnergies and the United States\u2019 APA, is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/live-news\/20250524-suriname-poised-for-cash-inflow-from-newly-discovered-oil\">expected<\/a> to begin in 2028 and eventually churn out more than 200,000 barrels per day. Suriname\u2019s state oil company Staatsolie aims to soon enter the project. The country\u2019s next government will set policies for other international firms that want to drill in the country\u2019s waters.<\/p>\n<p>This week, Suriname also expanded its influence in regional affairs. On Monday, Albert Ramdin, a former Surinamese foreign minister, took office as secretary-general of the Organization of American States (OAS). He is the first person from a Caribbean Community country to hold the role.<\/p>\n<p>Suriname\u2019s step into the spotlight comes as the country still faces deep challenges at home. It experienced a <a href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2023\/03\/03\/suriname-riots-inflation-debt-imf-china-india-pandemic\/\">debt crisis<\/a> in 2020; in the interim years, it has been implementing austerity measures as part of an International Monetary Fund <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imf.org\/en\/News\/Articles\/2021\/12\/22\/pr21400-imf-executive-board-approves-extended-arrangement-under-the-extended-fund-facility-suriname\">plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Discontent with the economy may help explain the results of Sunday\u2019s election, which saw the main opposition party gain a narrow plurality, Wil Hout, a political scientist at Erasmus University Rotterdam, told <em>Foreign Policy<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The leftist opposition National Democratic Party (NDP) won 18 seats in Suriname\u2019s unicameral legislature, according to a preliminary vote count, while the incumbent centrist Progressive Reform Party (VHP) won 17 seats. A two-thirds majority of lawmakers is required to elect the country\u2019s president.<\/p>\n<p>Hout, a longtime scholar of Suriname, said that \u201cdisappointments with the government\u2019s initial attempt to curb corruption\u201d also likely played a role in the outcome. Last year, the country\u2019s attorney general <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaieteurnewsonline.com\/2024\/03\/16\/surinames-attorney-general-investigating-president-ministers-for-corruption\/\">requested<\/a> a preliminary probe into the incumbent president and two ministers for alleged misuse of funds, which they denied; no official charges against them have been filed.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, a handful of smaller parties announced that they <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/suriname-elections-coalition-santokhi-geerlings-simons-3573461a7e2ce88e479eccb01b98d76e\">would support<\/a> the presidential candidacy of the NDP\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsws.ae\/speaker\/mrs-jennifer-geerlings-simons\/\">Jennifer Geerlings-Simons<\/a>, a former doctor and legislative speaker. If elected, she would be Suriname\u2019s first female president.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to oil, the NDP\u2019s election platform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-05-26\/election-deadlock-puts-suriname-s-oil-bonanza-in-play?sref=vxSzVDP0\">called for<\/a> new requirements that international companies source labor and products locally. Still, Hout said, both parties generally support a significant role for Staatsolie and a focus on growing the country\u2019s sovereign wealth fund.<\/p>\n<p>Staatsolie has been a \u201cpocket of effectiveness\u201d within Suriname\u2019s public sector for years, Hout has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/2319868\/_Confidence_in_our_own_Abilities_Suriname_s_State_Oil_Company_as_a_Pocket_of_Effectiveness\">written<\/a>. There is a broad political consensus around leaving the company under government control but allowing it operational independence.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the state oil company in neighboring <a href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2022\/12\/16\/guyana-oil-economy-gdp-exxonmobil-stabroek-resource-curse\/\">Guyana<\/a>, which is also experiencing an oil boom, Staatsolie is involved in upstream operations such as drilling. That makes it eligible to participate in the TotalEnergies and APA project.<\/p>\n<p>Although the contract governing oil exploration in the part of the ocean where the project will occur is not public, Staatsolie <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staatsolie.com\/en\/offshore\/faq\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">says<\/a> it mandates that Suriname receive a 60 to 70 percent share of proceeds from oil fields after costs are accounted for, depending on the oil price.<\/p>\n<p>That is better than the terms of Guyana\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/drilled.media\/podcasts\/drilled\/8\/drilleds08-ep02?content=transcription\">agreement<\/a> with U.S. major ExxonMobil and its partners, which leaves the government with a 50 percent share and 2 percent royalty.<\/p>\n<p>Foreign policy is another area where Suriname\u2019s major parties converge, Hout said. While NDP governments of the 2010s had more of a \u201cnationalist\u201d and \u201cglobal south orientation\u201d than the VHP, \u201cthere\u2019s a fair degree of pragmatism on both sides.\u201d Both parties have sought Chinese and Western <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogo-americas.com\/articles\/chinas-expansion-in-guyana\/\">investments<\/a> in the infrastructure and energy sectors.<\/p>\n<p>Ramdin, the new OAS secretary-general, has suggested he will bring similar pragmatism to the job. He <a href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2025\/03\/06\/latin-america-trump-mexico-tariffs-panama-canal-oas\/#!\">won<\/a> his election pledging to reinvigorate the often-fractured organization. His statement upon assuming office <a href=\"https:\/\/oas.org\/en\/media_center\/press_release.asp?sCodigo=E-028\/25\">pledged<\/a> to make the OAS \u201cinclusive\u201d and \u201cresults-driven.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong>Sunday, June 1:<\/strong> Mexico holds judicial elections.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, June 4, to Monday, June 9:<\/strong> Brazilian President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva travels to France.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong>Tropical forest loss.<\/strong> Brazil and Bolivia lost the <a href=\"https:\/\/gfr.wri.org\/latest-analysis-deforestation-trends\">largest amounts<\/a> of tropical primary forest by area last year, in part due to wildfires, according to data from the University of Maryland published last week. Destruction in both countries rose, and Bolivia became the world\u2019s No. 2 offender, up from No. 3.<\/p>\n<p>The University of Maryland\u2019s numbers differ from those of MapBiomas, a Brazilian alliance of universities and nonprofits that is frequently cited in the country. By its count, deforestation in Brazil <a href=\"https:\/\/en.mercopress.com\/2025\/05\/16\/brazil-mapbiomas-reports-32.4-decline-in-deforestation#google_vignette\">fell<\/a> by 32 percent last year.

There, forest loss is directly connected to a political crisis, Bolivian environmental activist Jhanisse Vaca Daza <a href=\"https:\/\/www.journalofdemocracy.org\/online-exclusive\/bolivias-silent-destruction\/#author\">argued<\/a> in the <em>Journal of Democracy<\/em> this month.

Raised on a small cattle farm in southeastern Brazil, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icp.org\/browse\/archive\/constituents\/sebasti\u00e3o-salgado\">studied<\/a> economics before turning to photography in the 1970s.<\/p>\n<p>As an employee of the International Coffee Organization, Salgado traveled often to Africa. He eventually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/23\/arts\/sebastiao-salgado-photos.html\">photographed<\/a> workers, wars, and nature in more than 100 countries. His most iconic images were in high-contrast black and white.<\/p>\n<p>The intimacy with which Salgado photographed mine workers in Brazil and refugees in Ethiopia prompted some critics to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/b192d25c-6b05-4a65-b058-d54d1174c207\">question<\/a> the political value of depicting beautiful images of suffering. Salgado responded that it was natural to him to seek out well-composed images.<\/p>\n<p>Salgado\u2019s work has been shown in galleries across the world and on the cover of the <em>New York Times Magazine<\/em>. Later in life, he focused his work on the Brazilian Amazon\u2019s peoples and landscapes, becoming beloved to Indigenous groups.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"fp-quiz\">\n<div class=\"fp-quiz-question\">\n<div class=\"fp-quiz-question-text\">\n<p>What is the capital of Suriname?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"fp-quiz-question-response \"><\/p>\n<p>Georgetown<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"fp-quiz-question-response \"><\/p>\n<p>Niew Amsterdam<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"fp-quiz-question-response \"><\/p>\n<p>Lelydorp<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"fp-quiz-question-response is-answer\"><\/p>\n<p>Paramaribo<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"fp-quiz-question-result\">\n<div class=\"fp-quiz-question-description\">\n<p>The city is on the northern coast, where the Suriname River meets the Atlantic.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<hr\/>\n<hr\/>\n<div id=\"attachment_1196932\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone none\">            <span style=\"padding-bottom:66.69921875%;&#10;        \" class=\"image-attachment -ratioscale\"><br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Venezuelan opposition leader and deputy candidate Henrique Capriles Radonski votes while holding his son at a polling station during regional elections in Caracas on May 25.\" class=\"image alignnone size- wp-image-1196932 -fit\" src=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Venezuela-election-GettyImages-2216301833.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Venezuela-election-GettyImages-2216301833.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Venezuela-election-GettyImages-2216301833.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Venezuela-election-GettyImages-2216301833.jpg?resize=550,367 550w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Venezuela-election-GettyImages-2216301833.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Venezuela-election-GettyImages-2216301833.jpg?resize=400,267 400w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Venezuela-election-GettyImages-2216301833.jpg?resize=401,267 401w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Venezuela-election-GettyImages-2216301833.jpg?resize=800,533 800w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Venezuela-election-GettyImages-2216301833.jpg?resize=1000,667 1000w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Venezuela-election-GettyImages-2216301833.jpg?resize=275,183 275w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Venezuela-election-GettyImages-2216301833.jpg?resize=325,217 325w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Venezuela-election-GettyImages-2216301833.jpg?resize=600,400 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n        <\/span><figcaption style=\"height:0;opacity:0;\">Venezuelan opposition leader and deputy candidate Henrique Capriles Radonski votes while holding his son at a polling station during regional elections in Caracas on May 25.<\/figcaption><p id=\"caption-attachment-1196932\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Venezuelan opposition leader and deputy candidate Henrique Capriles Radonski votes while holding his son at a polling station during regional elections in Caracas on May 25.<span class=\"attribution\">Federico Parra\/AFP via Getty Images<\/span> <!-- caption placeholder --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The same day as Suriname\u2019s vote, nearby Venezuela also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cdj9znklprlo\">held<\/a> legislative and regional elections.<\/p>\n<p>Public attitudes toward voting in Venezuela have shifted starkly since last year\u2019s presidential election. The July 2024 contest saw a large-scale turnout push by the country\u2019s opposition. But the opposition and several foreign governments alleged fraud after President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro quickly declared victory.<\/p>\n<p>This time, many opposition parties told voters to stay home. Maduro\u2019s ruling Socialist party won 23 of 24 governorships and more than 80 percent of legislative seats, electoral authorities said. The Maduro government <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2025\/5\/23\/farcical-venezuelan-opposition-denounces-arrest-before-weekend-vote\">detained<\/a> a top opposition organizer shortly ahead of the vote.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities also held an election in a hastily created <a href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/live-news\/20250526-venezuela-elects-representatives-for-guyana-administered-essequibo\">district<\/a> near the Guyanese-administered region of <a href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2022\/03\/22\/venezuela-guyana-essequibo-maduro-opposition-oil\/\">Essequibo<\/a>, which Venezuela claims as its own. The Maduro government claimed the victor would govern Essequibo; Guyanese President Irfaan Ali <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2025\/may\/23\/guyana-president-venezuela-election-essequibo\">rejected<\/a> the move as a \u201cfull-frontal assault on Guyana\u2019s sovereignty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During his first administration, U.S. President Donald Trump responded to Venezuela\u2019s measures to close civic space with so-called maximum pressure sanctions.
