Luis Almagro of Uruguay, president of the Organization of American States- setting a new tone for Latin American nations

01/25/2016

In Venezuela, Guatemala, and other Latin American nations Almagro has called for openness and democratic process to respect the sentiments of the people. Venezuela benefits from dialogue between the opposition and the government of Mr. Maduro to address the economic crisis of high inflation. President Maduro is now coming around to the conclusion that such large petroleum subsidies damage the country's finances. By speaking up where necessary after years of silence from the Bush and Obama administrations, Almagro shows a new confidence in Latin America to address its own problems without being prodded by the U.S. Doing this creates new confidence that Latin American nations and people can come to a better assessment of their needs and problems, and how to best address them. A Latin American voice has more credibility with the people of Latin America, especially when it comes from an unbiased assessment of the needs and problems of Latin America, and what is the best way to tackle them.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
