HUNDREDS of activists gathered at the headquarters of the National Education Union in London for the annual “Adelante” Latin America conference on Saturday.

Activists took part in plenary sessions and more than 20 workshops organised by the Cuba, Venezuela, Colombian and Nicaraguan solidarity campaigns, to support the progressive movements of Latin America.

Chair of the opening plenary Bernard Regan, the national secretary of the Cuba Solidarity Campaign (CSC), placed the conference within “the spirit of anti-imperialism and the right to self-determination.”
