Resumen

The attainment of power by the left has possessed an international character since its inception in the 19th century. This collaborative approach allows for contextualizing the significance of the São Paulo Forum at the end of the 20th century for the Latin American left following the disintegration of the USSR. Consequently, the Socialism of the 21st century is examined as its principal outcome, elucidating the circumstances that facilitated its emergence in Venezuela, along with its process of expansion and crisis, accentuated by the demise of the historical leaders of the Latin American left. Ultimately, the Grupo de Puebla is presented as a response to the coordinating initiative of the right in Latin America, the Grupo de Lima, thereby indicating the elements of continuity and disruption with the São Paulo Forum. It serves as an articulating body for the left in the region.
