On the last day of the conference, there was a public discussion on Latin America and Europe facing growing authoritarianism, which was attended by students and members of civil society.

The letter, sent to diplomatic delegations of the countries present at the signing of the agreement, calls for a fair electoral process to be guaranteed in the country and for María Corina Machado to be allowed to run as the legitimate opposition candidate.
