“…The new crisis faced by Latin American governments of counter-hegemonic political projects – which had made important progress towards inclusion – against the (re) strengthening of a bloc of countries with neoliberal projects that have tended to aggravate regional social problems raises the question: how to break this return to the myth of Sisyphus?
