They call for impeachment against Lula da Silva for his comments about Israel

Washington is the scene of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), organized by the American Conservative Union (ACU), from Wednesday the 21st to Saturday the 24th. This annual event seeks to discuss and promote conservative values ​​in the United States and features with the participation of political figures of global relevance. In this year’s edition, the presence of Donald Trump, former president and candidate for the Republican candidacy, stands out, who will give his speech this Saturday.

The CPAC is known for being the oldest and most prestigious conservative forum in the United States, founded in 1964. Its objective is to safeguard principles such as life, liberty, and the right to property.

Trump is without a doubt the star of the event, which will serve to finish drawing up his alliances and loyalties just 8 months before the presidential elections, in which he will most likely repeat as a Republican candidate.

The main focus of the event is national politics; However, its importance also lies in its ability to bring together a broad spectrum of conservative figures in a year full of key elections in the United States.

This year, the meeting has attracted international leaders, including the Argentine Javier Milei – who speaks this Saturday afternoon – and the Salvadoran Nayib Bukele, as well as the former British Prime Minister Liz Truss. And the presence of such prominent Latin American leaders demonstrates the efforts of Trumpism to get closer to the Latino electorate, traditionally Democratic voters, but among whom it has already made its way in the 2020 elections.

Bukele was received last Thursday amid cheers by dozens of conference attendees. During his speech he defended his victory in the country’s last presidential and legislative elections, where he received 84% of the support amid complaints of irregularities by the opposition. The president highlighted his security policy and encouraged Americans to “follow the example of El Salvador.”

Last Friday it was the turn of the president of the Spanish VOX party, Santiago Abascal, who embraced Donald Trump’s slogan “Make America Great Again” and stated, before the audience at the annual convention, that his fight is to “make Spain great again.” new”.

“We work to make Spain great again, like each of the international guests of this congress who work to strengthen and defend their nations and their own sovereignty,” said the Spanish politician.

During the twenty minutes that the speech lasted, which he gave in Spanish, Abascal dedicated himself to launching harsh criticism against socialism that “threatens” and “dictates the way of thinking” and tries to “spread hatred.”

“We have a great battle ahead of us to make the West great again, and I want to say that you must be assured that the Spanish patriots are prepared to fight alongside the American patriots,” he stated.

The CPAC is held in a convention center inside a hotel in National Harbor, Maryland, half an hour from the US capital, and national and international figures circulate through its halls these days

The closing of the event, on Saturday, will see speeches from Rick Santorum, Kari Lake, and Eduardo Bolsonaro, marking the diversity of conservative perspectives present. The conference also expects the participation of renowned analysts and businessmen such as Steve Bannon and Mike Lindell, highlighting the intersection between politics, media and business in the conservative agenda.

The CPAC will serve as a barometer for the conservative political future, focusing on critical issues such as immigration, democratic values, and the fight against human trafficking.
