Abstract

Since the beginning of the 21st century, Latin America has been the scene of the transformation of the tactics of imperialism for the survival of neocolonialist domination. The persecution of leaders, activists and political militants of the national and popular field -by the hands of a strategic alliance between conservative elites, the hegemonic media and the Judiciary- shows the new weapons with which the wars of our century are fought. Lawfare enters the scene seeking the political and legal death of an adversary who does not peacefully abide by foreign impositions. Faced with these demonstrations of despotic power, the resistance of Latin American popular projects appears, which find in the discursive field a privileged arena of dispute for the defense of the interests of the peoples.
