Cristal Hall, Hotel El Panama, Panama, April 9, 2015
Civil society representatives and social actors from Ecuador, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Panama, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Cuba and Chile, gathered for the Roundtable Debate on Citizen Participation at the Forum of Civil Society and Social Actors, in the presence of the facilitators assigned by the Organizing Committee, Maribel Jae from Panama and Jorge Arguindegui of Argentina, following a harmonious discussion resolve to:
- Denounce the non accreditation of several Latin American civil society representatives who previously applied and were accepted.
- Condemn the complicity of the Organizing Committee in facilitating the gathering of illegitimate individuals, historic enemies of popular causes, who intend to set themselves up as representatives of a civil society that repudiates them and who left the official space of the roundtable, and did not wait to allow for all participating civil society representatives to be accredited. They do not represent our peoples.
-Demand the accreditation of social actors and members of civil society that have not been accredited, as well as condemning the insult of assembling a parallel forum
- Declare that the Roundtable Debate on Citizen Participation in the Forum of Civil Society and Social Actors was not installed in the official space, in the presence of the facilitators of the event so designated by the organizers.
- Reject the attempted aggression against compañeros of the delegation from Ecuador by César Ricaurte, from Funda Medios, a NGO funded by USAID, which promotes a coup d’état in Ecuador.
-Demand that the event organizers declare the attempt to install a parallel roundtable to disregard the true representation of civil society and social actors of our America as illegitimate.
- Proclaim our firm decision to build our united, independent and sovereign America, with such powerful integration mechanisms as CELAC.
- Thank the facilitators assigned by the Organizing Committee for their support in the Hall.
Announced in the Cristal Hall of the Hotel El Panama, on April 9, 2015.
