Democracy in Latin America is on the verge of an expiration date. After the democratic transition of most of the countries in the region in the 1990s -with exceptions such as the Castro dictatorship in Cuba-, this process has never been completed in its full splendor. The young democratic systems, which have taken their political inspiration from the United States and European thinkers, have -and have had since they were bornan enemy at home: Marxism and the radicalism of the left that has been built in Latin America. Hatred of capitalism, the free market, liberal economics and universal principles, such as the protection of the family, are now the “fascist” enemy to be beaten by leaders such as Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, as he himself explained at the São Paulo Forum in 2023. So, how can this democratic deterioration be halted to prevent the radical left from destroying democracy in the region -with the strategic investment of China- and doing so from within, from within the institutions themselves? The answer lies in the commitment that conservatives must make. It is time to fight the political, cultural and economic battle at the international level. (From Executive Summary)
