00:00During her opening speech at the colloquium,
00:03CELSUR's President Patricia Villegas highlighted
00:06the need to build a counter-hegemonic agenda
00:09with a global impact.
00:18We have to make a profound reflection
00:21and stop thinking of ourselves as competitors
00:24but as collaborators and decisively and consciously
00:27work on common agendas.
00:29To work in dialogical exercises about what is important
00:33for the landless workers' movement in Brazil,
00:36that I see them here,
00:38that their struggle agenda be also important
00:41for the community newspaper of Jujuy in Argentina,
00:44for a Chinese newspaper in Beijing,
00:47and of course for a multi-platform such as TELUSUR.
00:51If we do not understand that we have to do it together
00:55we don't even have the opportunity to wage the battle,
00:58we wouldn't even have the opportunity to get into the fabric
01:01of that great hegemonic power,
01:03which I do not want to talk about
01:05because I know that in other spaces of this extraordinary event
01:09there will be talks and discussions
01:11about how this global ecosystem works today.
01:14But we are building and fighting from the south
01:17against that undeniable reality,
01:19and we can only fight if we
01:22understand that we have to do it together.
