What do YOU think about it, Mexican?
Does it really exist? Or does it only exist in your MIND...?

Prior to seeing the article in WIKIPEDIA, I had never heard of it, not in the news, not from Hispanics I know, nothing.
Is it a true organisation, or just a WIKIPEDIA article someone draughted in order to "get the ball rolling" on it, so to speak?
Judging from all the infighting I see here between Hispanics and French and Hispanics and Portuguese, I seriously don't give it much of a future.
And like I said, I've never heard of anything benevolent or worthwhile that they have done. Do they feed hungry children or somethin' :?

Pues una jodida gilipollez creada, si mis limitados conocimientos no me fallan, por los franceses para tratar de convencer al resto de paises con idiomas derivados del latin de que el francés tiene que seguir en el sistema educativo de los paises integrantes.... vamos lo de siempre, otro intento a la desesperada de los parisinos para hacernos creer que el dialecto de paris tiene que estar al mismo nivel que el inglés en los sistemas educativos.
I've never heard of it and beside i miss Argentina, they speak spanish.

Yes, and there is another one, the Iberoamerican Summits.
There are 22 countries in this yearly meeting, organized by the Iberoamerican Community of Nations, of the heads of government and state of the Spanish-, Portuguese-speaking nations of Europe (3 countries) and the Americas (19 countries).
In 2009, there will be two another countries in these meetings, Equatorial Guinea (Africa) and Philippines (Asia). Belize and Timor want also be members of this yearly meeting.
Nowadays, they are over 800 million people and they will be over 1 billion in the near future with new members from all the Continents.

We don't need one. We are capable of standing on our own feet without the crutch-system afforded by a "union'. HAHA
"UNION" ---HAHAHAHAHA

Well, since standing on one's own two feet is a desirable and highly soght-after quality, I would like to think it's "we".
Need for consensus and unionisation is a purely "latin" characteristic; and a negative attribute to be associated with childhood and/or especially first year of Secondary schooling.

You know, there is really no such thing as a latin, germanic or slavic identity in Europe, because other things like national identity override any linguistic one. Most people just identify with their national origins and that's it. The only thing I can think that comes close is a Celtic identity, but then the Celtic languages are very much under threat as of today. There are perhaps smaller unions for countries that are closely aligned culturally and linguistically, scandinavian countries, iberian countries etc.
