Is the CELAC is a regional organization created to endorse authoritarianism?
When being constituted in 2011, CELAC adopted in Caracas a not very credible democratic clause arguing in favor of integration in diversity, thus relativizing political systems. In other words, a democracy like that happening in Costa Rica, Chile, and Uruguay is worth the same as the autocracy occurring in Venezuela and a one-party dictatorship as in Cuba. Due to its regional scope, the hypocrisy of several participating countries, organizational shortcomings, and duplication of efforts, CELAC is an intergovernmental body that represents a discredit for democratic governance in the hemisphere whose existence is questionable.
