El Taller 1: Gerardo Pisarello
Welcome to the workshop! Join Soberanía’s Kurt Hackbarth and José Luis Granados Ceja as they sit down with Spanish diputado and constitutional law professor Gerardo Pisarello, renowned in Mexico for defending the country against the imperialism, colonialism, and racism of the Spanish crown, multinational corporations, and parties such as Vox. They explore Pisarello’s role as a “Latin Americanist” in the Spanish parliament, Spain’s far-right rhetoric versus its squalid appeasement of U.S. interests, Mexico’s role as a lighthouse in the fight against global fascism, lessons from President Sheinbaum’s first year and handling of Donald Trump, the need for Latin American unity to break historical dependence, the example of China, and a vision of twenty-first-century socialism “with markets but not of markets.”
And yes—along the way, they even sample some Mexican alfajores in honor of Pisarello’s Argentine roots. Long live Latin American culinary unity!
