Latin America
Latin America’s fourth left wave since the Cuban Revolution is social democratic
We are now in the fourth wave of a left emergence since the Cuban Revolution of 1959. Even the mildest centre-left governments will be forced to address serious social crises. The test of these governments will be how they act when faced with the refusal by the forces of capitalism to solve these crises.
The Colombian left proposes a new economic policy for Latin America
Colombian President-elect, Gustavo Petro intends to normalise relations with Venezuela and wants to carry out a new left economic strategy on a ‘new axis’. The elimination of poverty requires that the economy is modernised.
A historic victory for the left in Colombia
The victory for the left in Colombia marks the latest success for a rejuvenated left across Latin America. The election of Gustavo Petro and Francia Márquez is an inspiration to socialists in Latin America and across the globe.
US watches as China, Latin America deepen ties
The US views Latin America and the Caribbean as its “back yard,” expressed in the Monroe Doctrine since 1823 and put into practice in countless military invasions, coups and, more recently, hybrid wars against peoples and governments not aligned with the US. It is now discussing how to respond to China’s increasing trade and investment in Latin America.
A statement by Cuba on the conflict in Ukraine
We call for a serious, constructive and realistic diplomatic solution to the current crisis in Europe, via peaceful means, ensuring the security and sovereignty of all, as well as regional and international peace, stability and security.
