La Habana_ The Argentine intellectual Atilio Borón affirmed today that the return to the largest of the Antilles to the Sao Paulo Forum, shows the willingness of the peoples of Latin America to fight to face the onslaught of the right in the region, according to the website of Prensa Latina.
In the 24th edition of the event, which will take place from July 15 to 17 in Havana, the progressive movements and organizations from the left will defend positions, the renowned political scientist said.
"The realization of the Forum is a recognition of the role that Cuba fulfilled as a facilitator of the peace process in Colombia and of its other internationalist work in more than a hundred countries around the world," he added.
"It also implies the respect of the community not only the Latin American but also worldwide to the seriousness of the government of the Cuban Revolution in terms of compliance with the commitments assumed," he said.
According to Borón, Latin America is today subjected to an intense imperialist counter-offensive, it has as preferential targets to produce the change of regime in Venezuela, to intensify even more the barriers of the blockade to the Island and to isolate the government of the Bolivian president, Evo Morales.
Likewise, he argued, he intends to plant an opposing beachhead in Nicaragua, as well as advancing Ecuador's return to US domination with the re-entry of the US military to the Manta base and in the liberation of Julian Assange from the embassy of Quito in London, which is equivalent to his death sentence.
The meeting will also encourage, in the capital of all Cubans, a fraternal and frank discussion of the successes and mistakes of the progressive and left governments, to ratify them in the first and correct the second ones, he stressed.
Borón also expressed the need to produce an accurate diagnosis of the scope and limits of the imperialist onslaught; the strength and weakness of its local representatives; and to unravel the international web of support for the right, both from the media and from diplomacy.
