• We thought that it was necessary to have a way of doing politics that looked at the objective that is the reconstruction of the dignity of the human being.

• If we look at life in society there are several aspects that require us to be human, both in access to education, to land, and administrative de-bureaucratization, which prevents people from having access to their rights and from these being fulfilled.

• Solidarity has disappeared between people, so we need to return to models of society with more solidarity and from there with more humanism, because there can be no solidarity without humanism.

• The human being also only got where we are today through solidarity between human beings, otherwise we would not have resisted the interventions even of nature itself.

• I say that humanity is a whole, and if we all unite and are connected to develop, propagate and strengthen humanist principles, humanity will win.

• But when solidarity collapses there is a gap that even threatens humanity as a whole.

• Let’s humanise the world, because the world is completely dehumanised.
