Over the weekend, Chile's resort town of Viña del Mar hosted the first ever progressive governance summit to take place in Latin America. The summit began in 1999 when then-president Bill Clinton and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair brought together heads of states and high ranking officials with affiliations to socialist, social democratic, and labour parties around the world. This year's summit was hosted by Chilean President Michelle Bachelet and attended by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Brazilian President Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva and the US Vice President, Joe Biden among others. Ahead of this week's G-20 summit in London, the progressive leaders agreed to build the foundation of a new economy on the wreckage of the current economic crisis. Jorge Garretón has more from Viña del Mar.
