Abstract

The subject to be discussed in this article is that of Latin America and its destiny. It is a recurring theme in our minds and in our debates, often fraught with anguish. What are we? Where are we going? These are questions permanently posed in Ibero-America. The proposal of answers is the beginning of a formulation of our destiny. What most gives meaning to this conversation is the conviction that we must and can formulate a destiny for Latin America; that our destiny must be a creative act of the American man, an act of will, a task to be carried out by us or, to be more precise, by the youth of all Latin America. In our search for our destiny, we must rely on democracy, since only democracy can lead this collective effort.
