He emphasized that the countries that make up the Sao Paulo Forum represent renewal, the new and the future. “Let us know how to break sectarianism, dogmatism and bureaucracy in all its forms. The battles we are waging are there,” he reiterated.
The Sao Paulo Forum was created at the initiative of the leader of the Cuban revolution Fidel Castro and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and the Brazilian Workers’ Party.
Facing a world contrary to the left, the Encounter of political movements and parties in Latin America and the Caribbean was held in Sao Paulo between July 2 and 4, 1990, which was renamed a year later as the Sao Paulo Forum.
