With slogans such as “Hands off Venezuela” and “Hands off Cuba”, and claims that capitalism undermines women’s rights, the organisation Latin America Groups has received around NOK 100 million from the aid budget. Nearly half of the money goes to political activism in Norway, clearly rooted on the left. The remainder is used for “solidarity brigades”, which involve travelling to Latin America, visiting social movements there, and taking part in agricultural work, voluntary labour projects, or other activities organised by the solidarity brigades.
