Sponsored
by the International Workshop “Bolívar, Martí, Sandino”, during the
event the participants discussed on the necessity of commemorating
this historical date as the starting point for the second and
definite independence dreamt by the great Latin American and the
Caribbean national heroes.
Nicaraguan Manuel Moncada warned on the challenge that the most
needed unity of our peoples means, in a world where the danger of
the species extinction is a terrible reality.
Nowadays, the Latin American economic thinking is going through a
very positive development, using advanced integration models, like
the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA),
stressed Rolando Ruiz, Havana University’s professor.
Vladimir Aguiar, from the Los Andes University, Venezuela, pointed
out that capitalism is the cause for every ill affecting our
peoples, and that the second independence goes through the 21st
century social revolution, which several nations in the region are
already fighting for.
This workshop aims at bringing light on the independence process and
its validity, in order to assess achievements and pending issues.
