On the American continent, this current still has a long way to go to become a democratically adult force.

Knowing the psyche of some of the main leaders, we have a right to wonder if there was an express willingness to hasten such deterioration.

The 60 and over Cubans accounted for about 21.6% in 2022, being the only segment of population that is increasing in the country.

The Russian invasion has underlined the need for both Europe and Latin America to avoid excessive dependencies.
