Since Wednesday, some 300 delegates from more than 23 countries have analyzed issues such as integration, inclusion, internationalism, the ideological-cultural battle, decolonization, the defense of Mother Earth, the peoples’ sovereignty and the economy for good living.

After two years marked by the Covid-19 pandemic and in a context where the crisis of the capitalist system is worsening, the popular movements met to understand the situation better and define a work plan in relation to the existing challenges, Manuel Bertoldi, member of the secretariat of the event and the Frente Patria Grande, told Prensa Latina.

He also explained that among the main challenges analyzed were the strengthening of integration based on popular mobilization and strategic tasks related to political training, the consolidation of the communicational strategy and solidarity with the struggles and resistances in territories of the continent.

We reaffirm our identity as popular organizations that fight for an emancipatory project and socialism in all of Our America. We advocate unity to confront imperialist actions against the left, he said.

For his part, Pascual Manganiello, from the Argentine Pharmacy Union, denounced the harmful effects of monopolies and the interference of the United States.
