Info Night: Towards the People’s Summit Enlazando Alternativas 4 in Madrid
(14-18 May 2010)
In May 2010, the Presidents and Heads of State of the European Union (EU),
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) will meet in Madrid under the
Spanish Presidency of the EU. The “Old Continent”, restructured today as
the Europe of capital and war, will sep once again, at this Summit, to
push policies and mechanisms favouring finance capital and the big
transnational corporations. This Summit will take place under the shadow
of a financial, economic, environmental and social crisis that is causing
increasing unemployment and precarity in Europe and poverty and social
exclusion in Latin America.
The bi-regional Europe-Latin America and Caribbean network, Enlazando
Alternativas, is mobilizing for the fourth time to create a bi-regional
political space, as we did in Guadalajara, Mexico (2004), Vienna, Austria
(2006) and Lima, Peru (2008). The Peoples' Alternative Summit, Enlazando
Alternativas 4, scheduled to take place from 14th to 18th May 2010, aims
to strengthen emerging popular resistances and new convergences and
solidarities between our peoples.
Programme:
- Political conjuncture in the relations between Europe and Latina
America: why will the President Summit in Madrid be a key moment?
- Presentation on EU-Latin America Free Trade Agreements: the case of

- Video (12’) on People’s Summit Enlazando Alternativas 3 (May 2008,
