    Abstract

    The ongoing processes of democratization of communication in the region are fiercely resisted by media-economic-and-political groups, which do no limit themselves to the creation of public opinion and the construction of subjectivities, but instead are moving forward, striking against institutions and setting the stage to destabilize the region. The sovereign decisions to deactivate the dependency of these monopolistic tandems and to guarantee the human right to communication, both need of an active regional participation. The neoliberal actions of current new governments (as the recent case in Argentina and the "soft coup" in Brazil) intend to return those groups  privileged conditions by naturalizing the logic of capital, criminalizing the social, communication and political practices of Latin American communities.
