Havana, July 16 (RHC)-- Brazilian activist of the Landless Movement Rodrigo Suñe today highlighted the space that the Brussels-2023 Peoples' Summit represents for the defense of the sovereignty of Latin America and the Caribbean.

"We do not accept any more relations that subject our region to a neocolonial past, and that is why this meeting will be one of vigilance and pressure," the member of the Secretariat of the International Peoples' Assembly told Prensa Latina.

Suñe recalled that the Peoples' Summit will be held at the Free University of Brussels tomorrow and Tuesday, parallel to the Third Summit of Heads of State and Government of the European Union (EU) and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC).

"Therefore, we will call for fair bi-regional ties and economic and commercial ties of mutual respect, without impositions," he stressed.

According to the Brazilian social leader, the Peoples' Summit will also be an opportunity to promote processes of articulation, unity and integration among fighters for a better world on both sides of the Atlantic.

We are going to debate current issues, to go out together with the European movements articulated with mutual trust and a path of struggle identified in the face of the challenges, this is a fundamental objective, he insisted.

Suñe considered that the vigilance is key from the European, Latin American and Caribbean peoples with the aim of achieving equal relations between governments and regions.

We have already seen what happened in the civil society forum, held here on July 13 and 14, in which the EU made an attempt of interference and disrespect, by convening this event without the participation of a true representation of our peoples, he said.     (Source: Prensa Latina)
