Latin American countries refuse to see Zelenskyy at summit with EU - Lemmy

“The countries of Central and Latin America “threw cold water” on the EU’s efforts to unite the continent to support Ukraine and call for colonial reparations in a counter-proposal to the draft declaration of the upcoming EU summit.”

So on one hand they are not interested in standing up against the Russian attempt to colonize Ukraine but on the other hand they are very interested about colonial reparations?

So… are they pro colonization or anti colonization?

I think it’s about showing that they want to be treated as an equal partner. Since eu made it all about their priorities they countered by replacing european concerns with latin american concerns in their proposal.
TIL Ukrainian lives are only a European concern

you seem to be presenting a false dichotomy. or you conflate high priorities with concerns.

if it’s not intentional, hopefully today you’ll learn that latin america prioritizing latin american issues does not mean that other issues are of no concern. for latin america there are more pressing issues.

The false dichotomy? Id argue that’s you not believing someone can be concerned about an issue that affects everyone (global issue) regardless of location… but okay
