democraciaAbierta has been publishing for one year now. After more than 250 original articles, (500 +, including translations) published in at least two of our three working languages (Spanish, Portuguese, and – always - English) we have been able to build a significant readership in Latin America, in Europe and across the world.
democraciaAbierta has succeeded in establishing itself as one of openDemocracy’s five main sections, bringing voices from the Global South to an international audience and fostering a lively debate across the Latin American region. It has contributed to the creation of a much needed public sphere in Spanish and Portuguese, aiming to grant those who fight for their rights “the agency to make their case heard and to provoke action”, to quote Mary Fitzgerald, openDemocracy’s Editor-in-Chief.
