This is a good example of strong Spanish language debating. It was an exhibition debate held at the University of Vermont at the World Debate Institute in 2003.

TOPIC: The OAS should act to counterbalance the USA in Latin American affairs.

The debaters were:
Government - Christian Ketterer, Chile & Roberto Mateu, Venezuela
Opposition - Tatiana America Novoa, Nicaragua & Carlos Varela, Puerto Rico
The Novoa family has a lot of debating talent in it, as you can see by watching America’s sister Victoria in the other Spanish language debate posted recently. America was the top speaker at the international Spanish language debate championship after WDI 2003.
