Stones Along the Path to Victory

By Néstor Núñez
The Project of a Latin American and Caribbean Community States as a free regional entity without the presence of the United States and Canada is consolidating its presence and influence in the area of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America, ALBA.

  They are entities that have ideas and projects of the revolutionary and progressive leaders that dreamt throughout history about the Grand Homeland, without any ties to imperialist interests and free of domination of the powerful North.
  In fact we must recall that these principles were the ones that finally put an end to the so called Free Trade Agreement for the Americas that Washington attempted to impose on the region as one of its most compromising ties towards neoliberal programs.
  However, after US attempts in Argentina which came to a halt barely 6 years ago, it is evident that the empire has not abandoned its plans of transforming its closest regional neighbors in order to extract its natural resources so much needed for its economy.
  Washington has made an effort in signing bilateral free trade agreements and has achieved it with Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Peru among other nations whose authorities have been inclined to take the chance with the powerful North.
  Many experts say that amidst a continent marked with profound political, economic and social changes aimed at achieving true independence and development without foreign intervention imperialism continues to interfere in their internal issues.
  But the project marked with imperialist tricks has gone beyond due to the absence of a FTAA in the hemisphere indicating that the masters of such a model are attempting to establish themselves as a counterpart clan to the already existing regional independent projects.
  The presidents of the nations endorsed late last month this line of conduct to negotiate the constitution for an alleged Alliance for the Pacific that many analysts and politicians characterize as an attempt to “break Latin American unity and favor US hegemony”.
  For economist Carlos Bedoya:  “the pact is a resurrection of the failed Free Trade Agreement”, rejected by the majority of the regional nations for its ties to Washington.      
  Those that want to destroy the region are once again recharging backed by the powerful North that has dreamt for over half a century with stopping the transformations that opened the doors to the triumph of the Cuban Revolution.       Thanks to the resistance of the Cuban people and the growing struggles of
the nations in the region there is strength capable of setting guidelines
for new and transparent paths that we proudly call “Our America”.
