Without justice, there are no rights
CADAL – the Center for the Opening and Development of Latin America- decided to connect the “popular initiative for independent justice and the defense of our rights“, promoted by Daniel Alberto Sabsay and Iván José María Cullen, with various organisations of the civil code. CADAL agrees with the abolishment of the mentioned laws, which are incumbent upon the Federal Congress. In this vein one prevents the arising partisanship of the justice and with that, the destruction of the Republic.

The ''model'' in the provinces
This document intends to analyze the functioning of the “economic model” in the provinces, reflecting on the political impact which the current economic crisis could have there. The leading argument is that, since the country overtook the 2002 crisis, the provincial governments adopted a pro-cyclic model that is based upon a constant increase of public spending and public sector employment, which will enforce a cutback on expenditures, starting on June 28th.

Prologue to «The chilean experience»
This is the perspective that frames CADAL’s valuable initiatives regarding the Chilean case. CADAL’s purpose is to study Chile with the seriousness it deserves, free from destructive ideologisms and with the help of renowned experts. This book is an excellent example of its ambition to take Chile seriously. The reader who seeks easy praise or condemnation will no doubt be disappointed. The reader who wishes to seriously understand how many of Latin America’s ills can be overcome is, on the other hand, in for a generous reward.
