In a statement released by the PSSG earlier today, the ruling social democratic party announced the creation of a new political foundation, the Rosalana García Institute (IRG), which will aim at strengthening and supporting local, Seleyan continental, and potentially even international left-wing and progressive forces. According to the statement, the Institute's primary mission will be to "equip progressive, socialist, and social democratic parties and organisations with the tools, knowledge, and resources necessary to develop, grow, and sustain a long-term presence in their respective political landscapes."

According to PSSG, the decision to create the foundation comes at the "uncertain" times on the continent, and worldwide, where nations and their left-wing political movements are faced with growing challenge from the right, as often "neoliberal incompetence", the secretary-general of the social democrats, Camacho, says, becomes to root of most problems. "We want to give voice to those who are certain and serious about fighting for a fairer economy and politics, and putting an end to reactionary politics".

Using temporarily PSSG's party headquarters as the main office of the Institute, the foundation will operate both as a think tank and a support network, offering policy and ideological trainings, lectures, transnational connection opportunities, assistance in strategic communications, and obviously, support in the democratic and electoral processes. Additionally, IRG will be offering grants to smaller or newly-founded organisations or parties to increase outreach through political campaigning or advertising. "The primary goal of the Institute, in our vision, is to help build a strong network of left-of-centre forces which believe in progressive values, equal opportunities for all. We will offer our helping hand to our comrades in those countries where they might be lacking resources to lead a powerful and effective movement for social and economic justice, because we know how to do it", said PSSG's secretary-general Jatziri Lara Camacho in a commentary for Las Contradicciones.
