About the Foro La Toja - Vínculo Atlántico

THE VALUES OF THE FORO LA TOJA – VÍNCULO ATLÁNTICO

The Foro La Toja – Vínculo Atlántico was created as a space for reflection and the defense of the fundamental values of democratic and open societies. Our commitment is grounded in the principles of individual freedom, equality, and human dignity. These foundations are reflected in a political model based on pluralism, the separation of powers, judicial independence, and respect for institutions — ultimately, a model of limited, accountable power subject to checks and balances. In the economic sphere, these principles correspond to a social market economy, where the capitalist system and entrepreneurial freedom are complemented by the principles of solidarity and social cohesion.

A WORLD IN TRANSFORMATION: AN ATLANTIC RESPONSE TO GLOBAL CHALLENGES

This model of open societies has so far aligned with a multilateral international order, respectful of borders and the principles of cooperation. Today, this global order — one aimed at maintaining peace — is being challenged by emerging conflicts. Western hegemony, once led by a single superpower, is now being called into question. The rivalry between China and the United States, along with the rise of other actors such as Russia, Iran, and Turkey, is driving a reconfiguration of the global balance of power. Since its foundation, the Foro La Toja – Vínculo Atlántico has advocated for strengthening the bond between Europe and the Americas as an essential tool to face global challenges. Beyond short-term circumstances, the strong alliance between Europe and the Americas is justified by historical, strategic, and human ties that must be preserved and cultivated.

THE CHALLENGE OF A NEW HUMANISM IN THE FACE OF EMERGING REALITIES

The Foro La Toja – Vínculo Atlántico has also shown its interest in the social and economic challenges posed by digitalization and the technological revolution. This new technological revolution offers vast opportunities in every field, but also raises concerns about social control and economic inequality. In this context, the Foro La Toja – Vínculo Atlántico promotes a new humanism that ensures technology and globalization serve society without undermining social cohesion or democratic values. This new humanism makes it more necessary than ever to renew the social contract that has sustained Western stability since World War II. Likewise, we advocate for a calm and inclusive public conversation that avoids the excesses of populism, gratuitous disqualification, and the polarization that has so deeply damaged democratic coexistence.
