Alejandro Pena Esclusa’s new book, Neomarxista Rt. – The São Paulo Forum’s Series of Electoral Frauds in South America,has been published in cooperation with the Center for Fundamental Rights and CDI Hungary!

The form of democracy as we know it in Latin America will soon disappear, as a group of coup plotters, former insurgents, drug traffickers, and bribe-takers gathering around the São Paulo Forum and the Puebla Group have developed a sophisticated method that allows them to seize power through electoral fraud. Alejandro Peña Esclusa’s study provides a detailed explanation of these mechanisms and how they function. It offers an analysis that no researcher has previously conducted, revealing the widespread fraud perpetrated by the political left, not just in individual countries but across the entire region. Peña Esclusa has an unparalleled understanding of the São Paulo Forum, having conducted in-depth research on the topic for the past 28 years. He has paid a high price for his efforts, facing persecution, imprisonment, and exile.

We were honored at the book launch by the presence of Andrés Pastrana, former President of Colombia and President of IDC.CDI, and Janez Janša, former Prime Minister of Slovenia.


The panel discussion was moderated by the head of the CFR’s Madrid office and was attended by Németh Zsolt, Chairman of the Committee for Foreign Affairs of the National Assembly of Hungary and Alejandro Pena Esclusa, author of the book, Leading Expert of CDI Hungary.

The new book is now available at Libri, here, as well as Alejandro Pena Esclusa’s first book published in Hungarian by the CDI in Hungary, The Cultural Warfare of the Sao Paulo Forum, here.

We welcomed an Asian delegation to the Parliament in the spirit of joint thinking about peace. The purpose of the group’s visit from Cambodia is to finalize an international Peace Charter, focusing on conflict prevention, peacebuilding, and sustainable development.

The National Assembly of the Kingdom of Cambodia is assuming the Presidency of the IPTP 2023-2024 and co-hosting the 11th Plenary Session, which is one of the most pivotal and historical milestones that signifies the synergy, multilateral efforts, cooperation, solidarity, and partnership among parliaments and parliamentarians worldwide, alongside prominent leaders from governments and civil society organisations. The outcome of this meeting is the adoption of a well-rounded final draft of the Peace Charter, followed by an action plan for its practical implementation.

We happily came to Tusványos in 2024 with yet another book launch! Alejandro Pena Esclusa’s book on the Electoral Fraud of the Sao Paulo Forum was published in Hungarian in cooperation with the Center for Fundamental Rights.

The form of democracy currently known in Latin America will soon cease to exist, as a group of coup plotters, former resistance fighters, drug traffickers, and bribed individuals gathered around the São Paulo Forum and the Puebla Group have developed a sophisticated method that allows them to gain power through fraud. Alejandro Peña Esclusa’s study details these mechanisms and explains how they work. He presents an analysis that no other researcher has yet conducted, as he uncovers the connections between the frauds committed by the political left, not only in individual countries but throughout the entire region. Peña Esclusa knows the São Paulo Forum like few others, having conducted in-depth research on the subject for 28 years. He has paid a high price for this, facing persecution, imprisonment, and exile.


We also had the pleasure to welcome international speakers such as Julie Hartman from the United States, Marwan Abdallah from Lebanon and Abshir Ferro from Somalia. Tusványos is an excellent place for having discussions on current international affairs, meet new and old friends and simply enjoy!
