El Congreso colombiano escucha a LaRouche

December 6, 2007 (LPAC)--Economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche's "world land-bridge" high-speed rail corridor concept, and his New Bretton Woods strategy for a new monetary system to control the financial crash, were presented at a packed forum held in Colombia's national Congress today, by Maximiliano Londono, President of the Lyndon LaRouche Association of Colombia.

Londono was one of five speakers in the forum on "The Metro, A Challenge which Cannot Be Postponed," organized by the Congresswoman representing Bogota. Londono's and LaRouche's organizing had played a key role in reviving the Bogota Metro project, in the recent Colombian elections.

Attended by 170 people, the event was broadcast nationally on the Congressional channel. Londono defended the building of the metro, and connections to an inter-city rail network, as part of LaRouche's global rail strategy, and the urgent new world financial architecture directed to financing great projects.
