From Julio Cesar Rimac Damian and the Peruvian Blue Community FEDIP – Frente de Defensa en Proteccion del Medio Ambiente y Derechos Humanos del Peru:
Yesterday I received a hug that touched my soul. They told me, “Don’t forget us.” Those words stayed with me. I can only say one thing: I will not forget you. As long as God gives me strength, I will continue walking alongside you and fighting so that you never feel abandoned again!
Change isn’t promised, it’s fought for. Today is not just a campaign; it’s the vindication of a people who never surrendered. Our struggle for land, water, and dignity transcends the streets; today it transforms into a political act. Our actions speak for themselves: eight years of struggle, sacrifice, and dedication to the people, even in the face of difficulties, remaining steadfast. Until now, San Marcos has not achieved its development: our farmers, the sick, and our youth have been left behind. But today, with the firmness of our perseverance, we begin our political activity. We have just registered, and from this moment on, with transparency and unity, we will move toward the San Marcos we have always dreamed of.
