Latin America Spurns Bush Tour
U.S.
President George W. Bushs
forthcoming visit to Latin
America promises wholesale
rejection.
According to the digital version
of La Jornada, despite the
acceptance of the governments of
Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia,
the US president cannot expect
any favorable reaction to his
visit to the region.
His tour will exist in a vacuum,
La Jornada commented referring
to his announced visit to
Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia,
Guatemala and Mexico scheduled
for March 8 to 14.
The visit occurs at a time of a
new context, the paper adds,
when several nations of the
hemisphere are going through
independence projects that
frontally confront the hegemonic
plans of the United States.
Latin America today is populated
by armies of sovereignty of
different shades, but united by
a purpose of regional
integration in spite of
political differences, La
Jornada warns.
It also points out that
proposals of economic exchange
on fair and equitable bases were
previously rejected by
Washington, which only wishes to
further its leverage here with
the Free Trade Agreement of the
Americas (FTAA).
