The COVID19 pandemic, the effects of Climate Change and the current wars in Ukraine and Palestine have caused many countries to raise the need to create a New International Order, which is capable of effectively facing this type of situations, which would have to be add very serious challenges such as: desertification, water scarcity, large migrations, new pandemics and wars, etc.

We Latin Americans cannot be left out of these realities. The collaboration of our nations is necessary in the design of any new structure at a global level. The only way to achieve this is by reaching the political union of the Latin American and Caribbean countries,

To achieve this unity, we must overcome the obstacles and weaknesses that have historically prevented this desire from becoming a reality, present in our people since the time of the independence of our nations.

In addition, as a consequence of the effects of the years of pandemic and war conflicts, we have seen how the economies of the economic poles on which most of our countries depend have been diminished, bringing serious disruptions to the region.

A union of wills is necessary to recover the lost decades and return to the path of progress for our nations, changing economic models based fundamentally on agricultural, livestock and mining activities oriented to export; to the development of transcontinental tourism; and with a weak industrial plant, by systems that complement these current economic activities with a powerful industrial apparatus, which brings together technological advances that feed off each other, making it grow.

Success in this unionist purpose will depend on the will of those governments that support that purpose, together with the awareness of the people who accompany and serve as solid support for the political initiatives that are taken.

True political sovereignty is only achieved with economic sovereignty.

To achieve the goal of powerful political and economic integration, our region has:

* An area of more than twenty million square kilometers, physically independent from the rest of the world, an ideal condition for the development of commerce and physical communication between our nations.

* More than 660 million inhabitants, which guarantee a demand for goods and services large enough to stimulate and sustain a large productive apparatus.

* The Latin American and Caribbean peoples are alien to racist and segregationist feelings, since they have a common root of the white, indigenous and black races; They basically profess two religions, Catholic and Protestant; Three predominant languages are spoken, Spanish, Portuguese and English; all of this supported by the idea of belonging to the great Latin American nation, formed in the independence process and nurtured in all countries in the last 200 years.

* Likewise, Latin America and the Caribbean have large deposits of mineral wealth, vital for self-sustained industrial development, such as: aluminum, oil, gas, copper, nickel, tin, iron, lithium, coltan, etc., gigantic reserves of fresh water, extensive marine areas and enormous expanses of arable land.

That sum of factors gives the Latin American region unique conditions to greatly facilitate the production, distribution and commercialization of interregional goods and services.

We must take advantage of this unique opportunity that history has given us with the pandemic and current wars to see our weaknesses, to correct them for the benefit of our people.

But beyond that, we must assume the responsibility of helping to build a peaceful, supportive and inclusive world, letting ourselves be "peeping toms" in the international arena, for which it is essential to constitute a block of countries that have a common policy.

Likewise, this union of wills is imposed as necessary, when we observe a world in which the great powers move (sometimes with interventionist behavior) to "guarantee" the supply of raw materials such as gas, oil, nickel, aluminum, etc., or agricultural and livestock products.

In simple words, the rules of the game must be changed. But to do this we must dialogue with frankness, without conflict, but with frankness, being aware that the current reality in our region is very different from that of the past, when those who assumed similar positions were simply evicted from power, sometimes bloody.

Continuing along the current path will increase poverty and render our people defenseless against, not only the disastrous effects of Climate Change, but also against global geopolitics, which will inevitably result in political instability continuing and increasing. and social, with all that this means.
