    This essay offers an interpretation of the Latin America conjuncture of the last two/three years. On one hand, the conjuncture is characterized by what the analyst call de end of the progressive national and popular cycle.  On the other hand the conjuncture is marked by the electoral rising of the right wing governments and parties,they are driving the restoration of the neoliberal project in the region. We present a contextualization of this double process and its main conflict dimension and we reflect from a position of identification and critical accompaniment of the national, popular, progressive, Latin American project. We also reflect on the need of the social movements, political parties and organic intellectuals of the Latin American left wing to assume, as a task, the dispute for the political and cultural hegemony vis-a-vis of the project of reviving the neoliberalism.

    This essay offers an interpretation of the Latin American political conjuncture of the last two or three years. On one hand, the conjuncture is characterized by what the analysts call the end of the progressive, nation­al and popular cycle. On the other hand, the conjuncture is marked by the electoral rising of right-wing gov­ernments and parties; they are driv­ing a restoration of the neoliberal project in the region. We present a contextualization of this dou­ble process and its main con­flict dimensions, and we reflect from a position of identification and critical accompaniment with the national, popular, progressive, Latin American project. We also reflect on the needs of the social movements, political par­ties and organic intellectuals of the Latin American left wings to assume, as a task, the dispute for the political and cultural hegemony vis-à-vis the project of reviving the neoliberalism.
