“The people of Santa Cruz alone are not going to make things change, the search for allies seems to me a good strategy, the objectives are healthy, There has to be a deeply democratic leader, we don’t need caudillosthe new (civic) leader must be open, participatory and defend our rights, not only control national instances, but things are done well in the municipalities, in the department and continue with the democratic and productive agenda”, he concluded .
