The former president of the Dominican Republic, Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez, presented the conclusions of the \u201cGlobal Forum @ Casa de Campo: Onward to the Upcoming Summit of the Americas: Hemispheric Challenges and Renewed Perspectives,\u201d on Tuesday, March 29, 2022, in conjunction with prominent political analysts Daniel Zovatto and Eduardo Gamarra.<\/em><\/p>\n

Casa de Campo, La Romana<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Global Forum @ Casa de Campo concluded on Tuesday afternoon, March 29, 2022 with a vehement call made by the participants for the next IX Summit of the Americas \u2013 to be held this upcoming June in Los Angeles, California \u2013 to become a venue where real and effective solutions to the main problems faced by the American continent are addressed.<\/p>\n

The Forum\u00b4s final conclusions were presented by the former President of the Dominican Republic, Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez; the director of the Latino Public Opinion Forum of Florida International University (FIU), Eduardo Gamarra; and by Daniel Zovatto, Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean of the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA International.<\/p>\n

The three participants agreed on the need for the Latin American and Caribbean nations to develop a common agenda to be presented at the Summit. The agenda would include, as accurately as possible, the needs, interests and aspirations of the region.<\/p>\n

At the same time, political scientist Daniel Zovatto highlighted that from 1994 to date nine Summits of the Americas have been held, indicating that the continuity of the event should be highlighted.<\/p>\n

However, he indicated that the Summit scheduled for this year will be held under unprecedented circumstances. Specifically, in a situation where Latin America is facing a challenging future due to the recent pandemic and, in addition, to being fragmented, polarized, without consensus and with worrying setbacks in the democratic process.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have never had such significant challenges and setbacks in our democratic systems,\u201d Zovatto declared, after pointing out that the United States is also facing a situation of considerable institutional deterioration.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous scenario, where political risks are constantly on the rise. This is the context,\u201d said the expert.<\/p>\n

For Zovatto, the agenda that Latin America will present at the June Summit is not clear, an aspect he considers to be highly worrisome.<\/p>\n

It is precisely for this reason that he favors the drafting of a document, detailing a series of concrete proposals, to be presented at the Summit.<\/p>\n

At the same time, analyst Eduardo Gamarra favors the active involvement of civil society in the preparation of the agenda that the region should present before the Los Angeles Summit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese issues are too important to leave them exclusively in the hands of politicians,\u201d said Gamarra, seconding a proposal made earlier by former Mexican President Felipe Calder\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Former President Fern\u00e1ndez thanked the panelists, and all the Forum national and international participants, for their participation in the event.<\/p>\n

Referring to the upcoming Summit of the Americas, Fern\u00e1ndez said that Latin America is not a priority on the U.S. agenda. \u201cWe are going to this Summit at the worst moment in relations between Latin America and the United States,\u201d declared the former Dominican president.<\/p>\n

He also indicated that, in addition, the region is facing a credibility crisis before international organizations, and expressed that for the Latin American region it is very important to establish strong ties with the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n

Similarly, he urged civil society to join the efforts being carried out to develop the agenda that the region needs to present before the Summit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must present a set of ideas to the governments that are going to represent us at the Summit, so that an agenda emerges that responds to the needs, interests and aspirations of Latin America,\u201d said former President Fern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnward to the Upcoming Summit of the Americas: Hemispheric Challenges and Renewed Perspectives,\u201d was the central theme of the Casa de Campo Global Forum, which took place at the Marina Riverside Center, at the internationally renowned tourist destination, situated in the eastern city of La Romana, with the participation of leading analysts of the American continent. IDEA International was an integral part of the institutions that supported the Forum.<\/p>\n
