The São Paulo Forum is the transnational initiative sponsored in the early 1990s – after the end of the Cold War – by the Cuban leader Fidel Castro and by the then Brazilian trade union leader and president of the Workers’ Party – and current president of Brazil – Lula da Silva.
Lula will travel this Tuesday to Spain to “strengthen the relationship” with the government of Pedro Sánchez and to promote “a strategic relationship” between the EU and Ibero-America.
The Forum was defined by Nicolás Maduro as a “democratizing force of Latin America and the Caribbean”, even though it represents a threat to life, liberty, and property.
It was born to prevent the extreme communist left from collapsing in Ibero-America… and its first meetings had as protagonists the oligarchs of the Cuban regime and the Brazilian leader.
In the last three decades, this network has assaulted the institutions of countries throughout the Iberosphere, including Spain.
It serves as a focus for disseminating the totalitarian ideas of the so-called Socialism of the 21st Century.
The network’s modus operandi is Cuba and Venezuela, where Chavism has condemned the country’s future to death and plunged it into poverty, and its links with terrorist organizations such as the FARC.
The people who promote the São Paulo Forum created in July 2019 the Puebla Group, a network to which Lula himself, former Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, and former Spanish President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, among others, belong.
It acts as an “image” for the organization, badly worn out by its connections with drug trafficking and crimes against humanity.
