A call to intellectuals and progressive artists to create a world
defense network was made in Caracas by Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez
at the inauguration of the In Defense of Humanity World Conference.
Chávez offered the Venezuelan capital as the headquarters for such an
initiative when addressing some 400 participants from more than 50
countries who responded to the broadbased call from Cuba and Venezuela
to take part in this event to find new alternatives in the battle
against neoliberal thinking.
What takes places in Latin
America over the next few years could have powerful repercussions for
the rest of the planet, affirmed the president, according to a report
from the Prensa Latina news agency.
He stated that the network
of intellectuals could be linked with the project for Standing Congress
of the Peoples in order to form a joint response to the challenges
currently facing humanity.
In that respect, he specified that
throughout the continent the resurgence of a growing force can be seen
among the youth, the landless, indigenous peoples and intellectuals. He
elaborated on the fact that international problems today do not have national solutions and for that reason there is a need for a world movement.
