Latin America Living a New Era

By Néstor Núñez

Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa said some time ago that Latin America is living a change of epoch, “more than a time of change”, something agreed on by many analysts.

If we take into account the concepts and way of looking at reality that many of the new Latin American politicians are facing in their respective nations, and in favor of the region, it is evident that there is a different way of doing and looking at things.

 
Without ignoring the glories, merits and valuable experience of the past, the present and future will be assumed with the reality of what is happening in the region, putting aside self limitations, artificial barriers and the distorted perceptions that in many cases, damage the progressive processes like the misleading and direct aggression of the enemy.

 
Telesur channel has presented interviews with different presidents in the region.
 

Argentinean President Cristina Fernandez, talked on the need for politicians and different nations to learn and appreciate a world of diversity because to be objective, overcome dogmas and preconceived ideas and leave behind prejudice and extremist, is what finally will allow adopting more reasonable and feasible decisions.

 
She also opposed the construction of paradigms which only isolated people from facts, personalities, episodes and projects which will only place them in an unreachable alter, almost superhuman.

 
Speaking to Telesur, Rafael Correa, was clear and direct when defining efficiency as the spinal cord of the regional processes aimed at moving forward what is being called 21st Century Socialism, concept born from the political initiative of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

 

To be efficient is important for the new progressive governments as a formula to strengthen popular support and gain power from those that are in the hands of the local oligarchies and foreign allies.

 

They are not based on speeches, promises or rhetoric that will not go beyond the emotional environment of the people.


The effort, said Cristina Fernandez, is to create true and healthy convictions, thanks to the work in favor of the majority, increase their quality of life in order for the peoples to see each day the difference between the present and future socialists and the capitalist and neoliberal past.
 

In essence, more work benefits, objective performance and fewer words filling all spaces lacking effective support in the daily lives of each people and nation.
 

As revolutionaries we must be eternal and restless apprentices, anti dogmatic and transformers, worth learning and analyzing the criteria that today are part of the regional progressive policies because, certainly, history does not have programs or ideas that cannot be improved or substituted.
 

If there is something that must be constant in people of good intentions, is precisely the capacity of never denying the evolution and richness of life.
