With the participation of leaders from Latin America and Mauricio Macri, Mayor of Buenos Aires, Sebastian Pinera, candidate for president of Chile, a representation of parliamentarians from 15 countries, the President of the Bolivian Parliament, rectors of several universities in the region, as Cedice NGOs, intellectuals and Álvaro Vargas Llosa and former president Jorge Quiroga of Bolivia and guests from 20 countries in Latin America, developing the work table to build a proposed agenda for the region.
As part of the meeting, the national coordinator of Primero Justicia, Julio Borges, denounced "the way many governments in the region limit the right of peoples to decide how to learn, how to educate, express, and how to work in the name of equality that ends up creating huge social injustices, injustices and poverty. "
response to this agenda "of control and concentration of power and economy", Julio Borges proposed agenda clearly and specifically that we democratize the ownership of land, capital and public and private companies "that have no towns and villages owners subjects against all-powerful government."
According to Borges, "freedom and justice are tied to each one can be master of his effort, his work and his creation. Latin American governments need to promote personal effort, investment, knowledge, freedom and work as the main driving forces for social justice and popular progress, unfortunately, our governments promote state control, nationalization of the economy, control of the decisions of the people and the violation systematic human rights, as engines to subject our people. "
Similarly, Borges proposed the need for more efficient mechanisms for achieving the development of human rights in the region. It happens, according to Borges, because "all countries, beginning with Canada and the United States subscribe to human rights conventions in the region, but also happens because countries like Venezuela that have signed all the conventions, have clear policies for human rights and freedoms his people and against discrimination and impunity. "
Finally, Julio Borges said the approval process Media Law in Argentina: "A law like this passed in a country as relevant and as referential as Argentina, would mean that freedom of expression will be falling like a domino effect throughout the region.
" If a law so controlling is approved in Argentina, we can imagine what will be presented in countries with lower levels of institutional. Is a danger to the entire region and is to legalize what Chavez does in practice, "said Borges.
The document, which contains the proposal of the participants, will be widely available to political movements, NGOs, universities and media communication throughout the region.
