The second part of Thursday was highlighted by presentations by famous analysts from several Latin American countries.

The Brazilian Boaventura de Sousa Santos warned that we are in a period of a significant increase in imperialism and the end of the period of globalization, for a confrontation between the United States and China.

In this sense, and with regard to the domestic sphere, he said that Latin America had to defend natural resources from the streets; The left has to rethink itself from the following principle: Nature is not ours, we belong to nature.”

His compatriot Manuela de Avila stated that science and critical thinking in the social sciences can help us change reality. There are no empty spaces, but what we must not allow is others to occupy our spaces, and this happens in the struggles in the streets.

He estimated that governments would not change reality if people were not organized in the streets. In Brazil we had a parliamentary coup, a legal war and a fake news machine: Latin America knows the right is not democratic, he concluded.

Alvaro García Linera, former Vice President of Bolivia, Alicia Barcena, former Director of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, and economist Paul Ladd discuss “the economic crisis and development dilemmas in Latin America.”

Barcena called to build a community that cares about the planet. Society is angry and in debt and shows social discontent, so we need a progressive ideology in the face of political power, because when political action fails to change anything, society becomes indignant and confused.
