This week, Latin Pulse takes a look at two very different dissident movements. First, a concentration on the crackdown against anti-Castro groups in Cuba after the visit of Pope Benedict XVI. Then the program shifts farther south to look at the Chilean student movement and why those students are setting an example for groups around the globe. The program also includes the latest on the Secret Service sex scandal which may have spread from Colombia to include El Salvador.
In-Depth Interviews:
Orlando Gutierrez-Boronat of the Directorio DemocrĂĄtico Cubano, and
Lisa Llanos of the Center for Democracy in the Americas.
Executive Producer: Rick Rockwell
Associate Producer: Vanessa Haces Gonzatti

This week, Latin Pulse provides a special focus on this weekend's Summit of the Americas. This is the first such summit in three years, and two of the biggest issues revolve around decriminalizing drugs and bringing Cuba back into the hemisphere's wider diplomatic community. The program discusses these issues, Brazil's rising economic and diplomatic power regarding the summit and this week's meeting between President Barack Obama and Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff, among other matters relating to the summit. Beyond discussing whether the summit will reveal more about the contentious relationship between the U.S. and Venezuela, the program includes news about a sensational kidnapping in Caracas this week.
In-Depth Interviews:
Robert Pastor of American University, and
Peter Hakim of the Inter-American Dialogue.

Latin Pulse: 4.06.2012
Various Latin American presidents have floated the idea in recent months of decriminalizing drugs as a strategy in the Drug War. What are the prospects for such a plan? Will this topic make it on the agenda at the upcoming Summit of the Americas? The program also looks at the economic power of Brazil in advance of the summit between U.S. President Barack Obama and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff. The news segment of the program deals with the latest release of kidnap victims by Colombia's Revolutionary Armed Forces (the FARC by its Spanish-acronym).
