From the militant student movement in Chile, to the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela, and through to the mass radicalization of Spain, the Spanish speaking world is in convulsion. The crisis of capitalism has had devastating international effects and its consequences are being felt everywhere. One country after another is witnessing major uprisings of its workers, students and unemployed.
In the Spanish speaking world, these uprisings have had huge political implications, from the wave of corruption scandals in Spain to the street battles in Chile, factory take-overs in Bolivia and Argentina, and mass demonstrations in Venezuela. It is time for us to analyse these events, linked to one another across the Spanish speaking world, and to discuss not only where they come from, but where they could lead to in the future, for all.
Speakers and sessions:
Bolivia: the war for resources and the struggle for power – Amancay Colque, Bolivia Solidarity Campaign

Del militante movimiento estudiantil en Chile a la Revolucion Bolivariana de Venezuela, pasando por la enorme radicalizacion politica en Espana, el mundo hispanohablante se convulsiona. La crisis del Capitalismo tiene efectos devastadores en el plano internacional, y sus consecuencias se sienten en todas partes. Un pais tras otro, y en todo el globo, esta presenciando el levantamiento politico y social de sus trabajadores, estudiantes y desempleados. En el mundo hispanohablante, estos levantamientos han tenido enormes implicaciones politicas, desde la ola de escandalos de corrupcion en Espana a las batallas campales en Chile, las ocupaciones de fabricas en Bolivia y Argentina, y las manifestaciones masivas en Venezuela. Es hora de analizar estos sucesos, relacionados entre si a traves del mundo hispanohablante, y de discutir no solo de donde surgen, sino tambien adonde podrian llevarnos en un futuro.
