Meanwhile, the Democratic elite, who have lost touch with the reality of their own country, the victims of daily massacres, are posing as too powerless to meet the expectations of citizens. While most decisions and legislation are paralyzed, this elite reiterates the old Monroe doctrine – America for Americans – and ensures its isolation in Latin America.

The United States seldom takes into account the distinctive features of its Latin American neighbors: culture, linguistics, religion and tradition. This may seem incomprehensible today, but American foreign policy towards Latin America is designed and implemented entirely from ideological approaches and is characterized by simple conclusions that will ultimately harm everyone, first and foremost the United States.
