There are small pending accounts, which are of vital importance to understand in order to have a broader vision of the modern threats that Latin America faces. Cuba is one of the last socialist states, the last in the western world, which had its heyday during the 20th century. For this reason, and because of its intense history, this small country unleashes great passions, endless discussions and strong ideological positions for and against. Cuba is the last western country where the economic system known as real socialism is maintained. This is a system that we can hardly see as a step towards communism. Rather as a system in itself, different from the prevailing social or liberal capitalism, based on almost total planning of the economy and state control of the means of production, which during the 20th century was called “state socialism”. . Another example of this is Venezuela and Nicaragua, which are today two of the states where there are no guarantees of political participation and the rule of law has deteriorated to such an extent that they are considered as -Latin American dictatorships-

Similarly, in Europe, the new political pressure groups in support of the totalitarian regimes that have emerged, for this reason there is an almost total ignorance of the Latin American reality in European society. Today, European society and the governments of these countries do not have a clear perception of the reality of nations such as Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.
