Almost all of the Latin American presidents who spoke yesterday at the UN General Assembly called for negotiations to end the conflict caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has deepened the world food crisis, shot up energy prices and triggered the inflation.
From the right-wing Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, or the Paraguayan Mario Abdo Benítez, to the leftists Gustavo Petro (Colombia), Luis Alberto Arce (Bolivia) or the Peruvian Pedro Castillo called for negotiations to end a conflict that is affecting the entire world and that as French President Emmanuel Macron warned from the same rostrum, it is “fracturing” it.
“Immediate ceasefire” and “dialogue” have been some of the most heard wishes and demands in the UN forum.
