".
Latin America was heralded as the giant power for the end of the 20th century. Sixty years later, ultraliberal policies, institutional shortcomings and the difficult relationship with the neighbouring United States have had consequences that can be observed in the Andes or the favelas of Rio.
Yet, Latin America is rich in every respect, starting with its inhabitants, who have a powerful culture. Europe cannot, therefore, fail to take an interest in it.
We must therefore give ‘power to the imagination’ in European-Latin American relations, because the correct model of relations lies between ‘Christlike cosmopolitanism’ and ‘Westphalian cosmopolitanism’. This median point between diplomatic Plato and Machiavelli is located in a ‘four-square model of humanitarianism’. Europe must propose that resources are shared between the two shores of the Latin world: water, food, education and medicines.
An economic security Council must be added to the Euro-Atlantic Assembly, which was proposed by the Bregenz summit on 25 April 2006. Funded by a form of VAT on the numerous services provided, from space and geostationary satellites, this Council would make a success of partnerships aimed at supplying water and providing basic medicines, education and food. This four-square model at the core of humanitarianism would prevent Ecuador from pouring into Spain and children in Latin America from being reduced to donating their organs for the commercial trafficking of insane capitalism."@en1
