st of Brazil's political class. Today's discussion focuses on the difficulties o
f establishing democracy in a region traditionally ruled by an oligopoly and on
the limitations of democracy per se: CL: "In Latin America you cannot speak of f
reedom in an abstract sense. Freedom is connected with lots of things such as fo
od, such as education. And such as real freedom for all-not only for those who a
re in power. In other words, we are a little tired of just the juridical aspects
of democracy."
