Latin America
After The Coup In Honduras Debated
Buenos Aires - The military coup in
Honduras is evidence that Latin American
rightist oligarchy is desperate and involved
in the face of the process of changes in the
sub-continent.
This conclusion resulted from the debate of
ideas expressed in the Borges hall of the
National Library of Argentina, under the
title Rethinking Latin America since
Honduras, with the participation of
diplomats, political analysts and ex
military, as well as local intelligentsia.
Francisco Delgado, Political Counselor of
the Cuban Embassy said the current situation
in the subcontinent is characterized by
transformations in several countries
described as leftwing or progressive and
that worries the United States because it
threatens its hegemony and national
oligarchic sectors that lose power.
He indicated that Honduras shows how those
right wing forces react when an elected
president as Manuel Zelaya, from their own
flanks, becomes creative and then they
decide to take the reins on their own hands,
despite a world and regional context that is
against them.
Venezuelan ambassador in Argentina, Arevalo
Mendez, made an in-depth reflection on the
transcendent role of drugs in the history of
imperial policy and, thus, in that of the
United States, to explain the display of
military bases in Colombia and other
locations of the sub continent in a regional
control scheme.
Venezuelan national deputy Ricardo Sangino
saiod globalization and neoliberalism in
crisis made Latin Americans se how alike
they are and their possibilities to boost
their own ways of government the democratic
way.
But those ongoing processes threaten the US
interests and thus, their plans as in
Colombia and their pretensions against
Venezuela and the new governments which have
proposed radical transformations, which is
only possible with the united support of the
peoples.
Secretary General of the Center of
Militaries for Argentine Democracy, Colonel
(r) Jose Luis Garcia, referred to military
aspects of the current US strategy on Latin
America.
For his part, university profesor Victor Ego
Ducrot referred to the role of media
oligopolies, while the
Venezuelan-Argentinean writer Emilio Modesto
Guerrero made a historical sketch of the
class struggle, groups and their
characteristics in the current moment. |
