This year’s CPAC, the Conservative Action Political Conference, which has been bringing together leaders of the conservative world and thousands of organizations and activists for freedom and democracy since 1974, was held in Mexico City on the 18th and 19th.
More than 70 exhibitors from 20 countries participated in the world's most influential conservative event. Among the participants were renowned representatives from the political, academic and social world: thought leaders, journalists and thousands of spectators following the various presentations both live and via streaming from around the world. Voz Media was the proud sponsor, as part of its efforts to consolidate its position as the media outlet of choice for those who defend conservative values.
"From the beginning of time, and until recent times, the father of lies has always attacked the family, and his favorite means is the media."

Founder and CEO of Voz Media, Orlando Salazar, warned in his speech of the evils caused by fake news and expressed his concern for the gap that separates the Hispanic media from the Hispanic community in the US. This is an increasingly large and influential community, which deserves to have a media outlet on their level, one that unabashedly defends conservative values and defends the principles that have made the United States of America great. This is precisely why Voz News was born, Salazar proclaimed.
CPAC Mexico 2022: the conservative agenda’s success
In August, CPAC Dallas started at the beginning of the big red wave. However, the conference goes beyond the borders of the United States and consolidates itself as a space for learning, spreading and developing ideas. CPAC has been held in Israel, Hungary, Japan, Austria, Brazil and Mexico, in the latter country under the direction of Eduardo Verástegui, actor and film producer, human rights activist and founder of the Viva México Movement.
Under the slogan #JuntosSomosMásFuertes, The CPAC Mexico event was attended by well know people such as Lech Walesa (former President of Poland, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and leader of the famous anti-communist trade union Solidarity); Javier Milei (Argentine economist and congressman, aspiring to the Presidency of the Southern Republic); Senator Ted Cruz; Matt and Mercy Schlapp (senior managers of CPAC worldwide) or Eduardo Bolsonaro (the most voted congressman in the history of Brazil). The following people participated virtually: President of Guatemala, Alejandro Giammattei, Chilean politician Jose Antonio Kast, Steve Bannon (former advisor to Donald Trump) and Argentine activist Guadalupe Batallán, among others.
There was no shortage of support from leaders such as former President Donald Trump. The former President of the United States defended the need to be united "to defend God, family and the nation,” to "secure the borders and dismantle the criminal cartels that exert violence on our people,” to "stop the advance of socialism" and to rebuild our economy to support our workers and our families."
"I want to start by thanking Eduardo for the incredible job he has done hosting the first CPAC in Mexico, and Matt and Mercedes Schlapp for all the work they have done to support this great event." DONALD TRUMP message to 1/4@realDonaldTrump@EVerastegui pic.twitter.com/D7QBJGyrmk

Latin America and Mexico protagonists
The objective of the meeting was to unite in one space all of the people who work to protect freedom and defend those same values throughout the Spanish-speaking world (and beyond). "There are no hatreds or reactionaries here: there are proposals, there are facts, there are ideas that have always worked and that will also work now," said Verástegui, who stressed the importance of confronting the liberticidal wave that the Americas are suffering:
We are at a pivotal point in history. The communism of the former Soviet Union did its own rebranding and presented itself in Latin America with Cuba, Venezuela and the Sao Paulo Forum. For this very reason, we are today the protagonists of world history, given that what we do to allow them to advance or eradicate them once and for all will mark the course of our continent and of the world.
CPAC Mexico passionately defends democracy, family, the individual, national sovereignty, liberties, and life; it condemns cancellation culture, censorship and the liberticidal regimes that promote 21st century socialism and a call for unity of liberal-conservative forces on a global scale.
