Opinion Sur
While the crisis strikes immense majorities in affluent countries and spreads towards the rest of the world, greed and financial speculation keep going for more; they do not feel the slightest remorse for the suffering they generate. Hundreds of millions of people endure a setback in their standards of life and just as many agonize in poverty and destitution; jobs, incomes, housing, hopes are taken away from them. At the same time, unscrupulous groups accumulate larger fortunes, eager to take advantage of the defenselessness of the growing number of vulnerable families. It hurts, outrages, and mobilizes.
On many fronts efforts are made to take down the unbridled wealth and decision making concentration process; so that the indignation that infuriates may lead to a formidable transformational action. There are interests that will be necessary to overcome and others realign; they are not minor and still have the ability to steer trajectories. Facing the challenge it is necessary, a must, to mobilize every possible energy. This march for full democracies, without traps or manipulations, requires among other issues to discern what happens in Europe as to rightly face injustice and privilege arrogance, enrich with understanding the loving kindness that nests deep within the human conscience, and unveil the action of human vultures that take any crack in the system to ruthlessly profit at the expense of whoever is at their reach. In this April issue, Opinión Sur tackles these critical dimensions of the democratic march. We trust they will be of your interest.
Cordial greeting.
