Sánchez chiede di “preservare” la democrazia dalla “vera minaccia” di una “coalizione di interessi tra oligarchi e l’estrema destra” “

*TRANSLATION*

In the Patio de los Cañones of the Palacio de La Moneda in Santiago, Chile, left-wing leaders Gabriel Boric (Chile), Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Brazil), Pedro Sánchez (Spain), Yamandú Orsi (Uruguay), and Gustavo Petro (Colombia) positioned themselves as the driving force behind a new alliance aimed at defending democracy from the dangers they believe currently threaten its survival. The advance of the far right and its values, inequality, and disinformation are some of the problems they identified in their diagnosis. Their goal is to coordinate measures that strengthen institutions. “It is a political act,” said Boric. They are not seeking war or to use cannons, but they have decided to fight back against the narrative that is gaining ground in some places. “We must be capable of proposing an alternative.”

“Preserving democracy is not just a legal or institutional issue. It is a moral obligation. It is a responsibility we owe to past generations, but also to future ones. Preserving democracy is a political battle that transcends ballots and votes,” reflected Pedro Sánchez, who identified a “real threat” to democracy and its values in a “coalition of interests between oligarchs and the far right—an international of hatred and lies that is advancing dangerously, unfortunately, on both continents.”

These five leaders, who met for several hours behind closed doors, focused their discussions on three fundamental areas: how to strengthen democracies and multilateralism; how to decisively confront disinformation and the malicious use of technology—“without falling, of course, into censorship”; and how to combat inequality and extremism, “which so often feed off one another.” Their analysis led them to conclude that it is progressive leaders who are obligated to take the lead, as traditional right-wing parties are seen as having succumbed to far-right pressure. That is why Sánchez seeks alliances in Latin America, since in Europe both the right and far right have been gaining ground and increasing their share of power. Assembling a symbolic image of progressive leadership is now only possible by crossing the Atlantic.

Necessary and long overdue.

Fascism and big business, name a more iconic duo.

Traditional right is just a slightly tone down cover up. So called “center” is traditional right with societal open minds.

There’s a high-chance that Chile, Brazil, and Colombia will have a right-wing government next year. In 2027, the chance of a PP-Vox government is also high.

Becuase the left has no oligarchs
