00:00We, we are neighbors.
00:11We have the responsibility to collaborate and coordinate among us, but we should, we
00:20should have very clearly, like Vicente Guerrero said, the homeland is first, the homeland
00:30goes first.
00:40Or like Bernadette of the Americas said, Benito Juárez said, among nations the respect,
00:53the respect towards the right of the other is peace.
00:58We are not extremists, but we have very clear that there are principles, unrenounceable
01:09principles, we cannot, we cannot give any step of our sovereignty and our people cannot
01:20be affected due to decisions taken among governments or powerful hegemonic powers.
01:29In that case, we will always act immediately.
01:32As I mentioned, we have a plan and we have a strategy.
01:38We need how to resist the terrible and painful tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic and besides
01:47all that suffering affected gravely the economy and despite all that, we move forward because
01:56we have an extraordinary people.
02:01And beyond that, now that we are strengthened economically, socially and politically, you
02:16know why I think this?
02:19Mostly because of one reason.
02:23We have the immense majority of the people of Mexico.
02:42People chanting, you are not alone.
02:51A few days ago, I was asked by a journalist on the morning press conference, aren't you
03:00afraid, I said no, because there is a whole people that is supporting us, because there
03:10is no divorce between the people and the government.
03:22We will always together and together we will always move forward with temple, with a cold
03:36heart and mind and with very much love to the people of Mexico.
03:52Undoubtedly, we must with a strong will to have always a dialogue as the first option
04:05and so far so good and I think there is always going to exist this dialogue, however, we
04:15must be attentive and keep informed in case it is necessary to call again for this public
04:28square.
04:29Do you agree with this?
