 Lula, Chavez, Zapatistas; A Continent in Revolt. On Friday night Mike Gonzalez, author, broadcaster and activist will speak on Latin America: A Continent in Revolt in the Central Hotel Exchequer St Dublin at 8.00pm Mike Gonzalez has written several books and articles on Latin America. He is a regular contributor to radio programmes in Britain on the issue and was a delegate to the World Social Forum. He is a member of the Scottish Socialist Party and an political activist in Scotland. At this meeting he looks at how the movement against neo-liberalism has exploded on the continent. A decade ago, Latin America was held up as an ‘emerging market’ for speculators in the global financial system. But their involvement has led to devastation and poverty. Gonzalez will look at some of the main debates inside the anti-capitalist movement on the continent. Will the election of Lula bring real change to Brazil? Do the Zapatistas provide a new model on how to organise? Why do the US want rid of Chavez? Public Meeting Hosted by the Socialist Workers Party |
