00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:06.090
 [Music] 

00:00:03.090 --> 00:00:06.090
 ah 

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:13.109
 [Music] 

00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:13.109
 [Applause] 

00:00:16.170 --> 00:00:20.670
 well I think these days have been 

00:00:18.330 --> 00:00:23.820
 really chaotic for us 

00:00:20.670 --> 00:00:25.710
 obviously my mother's murder is 

00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:27.840
 the thing is the toughest and hardest news 

00:00:25.710 --> 00:00:29.840
 difficult the biggest challenge that I think 

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:33.930
 we will have in all our life 

00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:36.390
 so good a day they mixed like 

00:00:33.930 --> 00:00:39.930
 many things was the subject like 

00:00:36.390 --> 00:00:42.300
 emotional shock I think we had 

00:00:39.930 --> 00:00:44.730
 good we knew it was a 

00:00:42.300 --> 00:00:47.580
 fighter woman a defender of life 

00:00:44.730 --> 00:00:50.489
 and of that why we were aware 

00:00:47.580 --> 00:00:52.199
 of the danger of being a 

00:00:50.489 --> 00:00:54.510
 human rights defender 

00:00:52.199 --> 00:00:56.190
 in a country like this that is one of the 

00:00:54.510 --> 00:00:59.820
 most violent countries in the world in 

00:00:56.190 --> 00:01:01.559
 that murders are committed daily and 

00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:04.110
 that there is very little research that is a 

00:01:01.559 --> 00:01:07.020
 great impunity regarding these 

00:01:04.110 --> 00:01:09.840
 situations then in that sense of 

00:01:07.020 --> 00:01:11.900
 somehow we were aware of 

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:14.670
 danger that represented but one never 

00:01:11.900 --> 00:01:16.010
 one can never be prepared for 

00:01:14.670 --> 00:01:18.920
 something like that 

00:01:16.010 --> 00:01:21.830
 Well, we were both 

00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.510
 outside of Honduras we are studying and 

00:01:21.830 --> 00:01:25.910
 we left too because she wanted that 

00:01:23.510 --> 00:01:27.440
 we weren't going to not feel like the 

00:01:25.910 --> 00:01:31.670
 insecurity that their children too 

00:01:27.440 --> 00:01:33.440
 they were in danger then first it was 

00:01:31.670 --> 00:01:37.010
 desperate because we wanted 

00:01:33.440 --> 00:01:39.350
 being here we didn't believe the news of 

00:01:37.010 --> 00:01:40.790
 that our mother had been killed 

00:01:39.350 --> 00:01:43.060
 that we weren't going to find him when 

00:01:40.790 --> 00:01:46.820
 we came here so it was really 

00:01:43.060 --> 00:01:49.850
 traumatic in that sense but also 

00:01:46.820 --> 00:01:52.130
 we felt a great strength that was the 

00:01:49.850 --> 00:01:54.920
 spirit of her I believe the essence of 

00:01:52.130 --> 00:01:58.220
 she and we knew we had to 

00:01:54.920 --> 00:02:01.310
 come to do a great job and fulfill 

00:01:58.220 --> 00:02:04.160
 a great commitment that was to fight for the 

00:02:01.310 --> 00:02:06.080
 justice that was also to use the 

00:02:04.160 --> 00:02:10.459
 justice because justice is done in your 

00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:12.920
 murder but also to support the 

00:02:10.459 --> 00:02:13.850
 struggle of your organization which is the 

00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:16.370
 civic council of organizations 

00:02:13.850 --> 00:02:17.860
 Popular and indigenous Honduras 

00:02:16.370 --> 00:02:20.920
 not leave 

00:02:17.860 --> 00:02:22.840
 so she died will fall then 

00:02:20.920 --> 00:02:25.060
 I knew how those two situations 

00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:28.900
 obviously we did all the 

00:02:25.060 --> 00:02:31.120
 possible effort to focus on 

00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:32.620
 feel your strength and to come to 

00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.330
 support that 

00:02:32.620 --> 00:02:36.570
 [Applause] 

00:02:34.330 --> 00:02:39.010
 it was news that shook 

00:02:36.570 --> 00:02:42.090
 nationally internationally 

00:02:39.010 --> 00:02:45.040
 then there was a great presence of 

00:02:42.090 --> 00:02:46.630
 media of all kinds not just media 

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:48.550
 solidarity that are the ones who accompanied 

00:02:46.630 --> 00:02:50.680
 his struggle and that but commercial media 

00:02:48.550 --> 00:02:53.710
 what are you trying to do like a great 

00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:57.750
 chasm of her like doing a great show 

00:02:53.710 --> 00:02:57.750
 media about that 

00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:03.540
 without claiming what my mother was but 

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:05.709
 saying or reducing the make a 

00:03:03.540 --> 00:03:09.030
 environmentalist and not give it the 

00:03:05.709 --> 00:03:11.739
 depth of what your fight and your life 

00:03:09.030 --> 00:03:13.870
 represented then it has been very 

00:03:11.739 --> 00:03:15.340
 overwhelming too because it's like that 

00:03:13.870 --> 00:03:17.980
 want to talk a lot with us or 

00:03:15.340 --> 00:03:20.739
 interview but not to inform the 

00:03:17.980 --> 00:03:23.470
 people or not to report the crime 

00:03:20.739 --> 00:03:26.620
 politician committed against her but for 

00:03:23.470 --> 00:03:28.540
 make a show like what 

00:03:26.620 --> 00:03:31.610
 sells possible in the media then has 

00:03:28.540 --> 00:03:33.210
 been like the hard part 

00:03:31.610 --> 00:03:35.250
 [Music] 

00:03:33.210 --> 00:03:38.340
 there has been a great accompaniment 

00:03:35.250 --> 00:03:40.260
 international national there were many people 

00:03:38.340 --> 00:03:42.810
 sympathizing with us but one 

00:03:40.260 --> 00:03:44.580
 immense amount of people actually 

00:03:42.810 --> 00:03:46.890
 we can't even 

00:03:44.580 --> 00:03:48.540
 help well we could talk because 

00:03:46.890 --> 00:03:50.280
 we wanted to concentrate so much 

00:03:48.540 --> 00:03:52.440
 because we knew that these first 

00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:55.050
 moments were very important when 

00:03:52.440 --> 00:03:57.750
 do an investigation like 

00:03:55.050 --> 00:04:00.600
 we wish it was not possible but 

00:03:57.750 --> 00:04:02.370
 focus on what there was and what 

00:04:00.600 --> 00:04:04.500
 a commission of inquiry 

00:04:02.370 --> 00:04:05.790
 independent by distrust so 

00:04:04.500 --> 00:04:07.990
 great we have had in the 

00:04:05.790 --> 00:04:10.240
 authorities 

00:04:07.990 --> 00:04:12.520
 I see the country but also those who are 

00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:15.270
 participating in research about 

00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.270
 of his murder 

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:22.290
 in spite of everything despite how everything 

00:04:19.739 --> 00:04:24.360
 painful that I can do I think a 

00:04:22.290 --> 00:04:27.810
 of the things that have given us strength 

00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:30.900
 is the conviction my mother had and 

00:04:27.810 --> 00:04:34.440
 that instilled us then because of that 

00:04:30.900 --> 00:04:37.500
 we were able to go ahead or leave 

00:04:34.440 --> 00:04:41.040
 in the fight for her justice and 

00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:42.870
 for continuing as all his struggle that already 

00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:46.710
 before we had taken it because 

00:04:42.870 --> 00:04:49.800
 she didn't link us anymore and she told us 

00:04:46.710 --> 00:04:52.770
 expressly but now with more force and 

00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:55.980
 more conviction so in spite of everything 

00:04:52.770 --> 00:04:58.740
 that we have strength we have conviction 

00:04:55.980 --> 00:05:01.200
 we have rebellion and we have the spirit 

00:04:58.740 --> 00:05:03.720
 of my mom who is accompanying us and 

00:05:01.200 --> 00:05:06.200
 is giving us in this whole process that 

00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:08.240
 make long but let's go out 

00:05:06.200 --> 00:05:10.510
 victorious 

00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:13.390
 [Applause] 

00:05:10.510 --> 00:05:17.050
 I think one of the strongest is the 

00:05:13.390 --> 00:05:21.370
 sense of justice 

00:05:17.050 --> 00:05:24.240
 it is rebellion also to rebel is 

00:05:21.370 --> 00:05:27.370
 the love for life and integrality 

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:29.740
 understand life as with all its 

00:05:27.370 --> 00:05:32.919
 dimensions and also understand that 

00:05:29.740 --> 00:05:35.349
 we are in a now worldwide moment in 

00:05:32.919 --> 00:05:37.810
 which must be manifested in which 

00:05:35.349 --> 00:05:41.289
 we have an obligation to move and 

00:05:37.810 --> 00:05:44.800
 fight for the life of the planet 

00:05:41.289 --> 00:05:47.830
 for life in all its extension its 

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.539
 mastery of human rights against 

00:05:47.830 --> 00:05:52.659
 the death systems like the 

00:05:49.539 --> 00:05:54.520
 capitalism against all machismo and the 

00:05:52.659 --> 00:05:59.309
 patriarchy that dominates the bodies of 

00:05:54.520 --> 00:06:01.779
 women against racism that 

00:05:59.309 --> 00:06:05.409
 marginalize and exterminate communities 

00:06:01.779 --> 00:06:08.819
 indigenous and culture and diverse 

00:06:05.409 --> 00:06:08.819
 as visions that exist 

00:06:09.129 --> 00:06:16.770
 and I think that there too love the 

00:06:13.929 --> 00:06:16.770
 love for life 

00:06:18.490 --> 00:06:23.850
 [Music] 

00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:28.020
 a strong character because my mom was not 

00:06:23.850 --> 00:06:31.349
 second a woman of character 

00:06:28.020 --> 00:06:33.690
 with its clear demands and with its 

00:06:31.349 --> 00:06:35.580
 clear thoughts then that to one 

00:06:33.690 --> 00:06:37.020
 I make a clarity and a certainty of 

00:06:35.580 --> 00:06:39.629
 that what I was saying had to 

00:06:37.020 --> 00:06:42.030
 listen to it because I had many many 

00:06:39.629 --> 00:06:46.510
 many arguments since the upbringing of 

00:06:42.030 --> 00:06:49.180
 grow with her until this 

00:06:46.510 --> 00:06:51.970
 the fight and let's see it as a figure 

00:06:49.180 --> 00:06:54.040
 politics because really at least 

00:06:51.970 --> 00:06:56.920
 we admired him very much to have 

00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:59.849
 that is the clarity that I had and that 

00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:01.740
 now we have to take her 

00:06:59.849 --> 00:07:04.379
 but also one of the things that to me 

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:06.479
 especially in the last days that I 

00:07:04.379 --> 00:07:08.759
 I was with her that I could be with me 

00:07:06.479 --> 00:07:11.999
 impress see the tenderness I had 

00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:14.009
 as well as the tenderness within all its 

00:07:11.999 --> 00:07:16.819
 strong character well everything was quite 

00:07:14.009 --> 00:07:21.020
 Tender rehearsed as things that count that 

00:07:16.819 --> 00:07:23.939
 take from the strong fight for 

00:07:21.020 --> 00:07:25.619
 communities and for life until you give 

00:07:23.939 --> 00:07:29.149
 eat stray dogs that is 

00:07:25.619 --> 00:07:31.010
 that was my mother is the love I felt 

00:07:29.149 --> 00:07:32.550
 full 

00:07:31.010 --> 00:07:34.500
 [Applause] 

00:07:32.550 --> 00:07:36.150
 the main thing is that she always we 

00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:37.950
 involved in this then it's not like 

00:07:36.150 --> 00:07:40.770
 something new that we assume now what 

00:07:37.950 --> 00:07:43.740
 we assume of course with more strength and 

00:07:40.770 --> 00:07:47.370
 I think sometimes it feels like everything 

00:07:43.740 --> 00:07:49.890
 sometimes you feel insecure you feel the 

00:07:47.370 --> 00:07:51.330
 conviction and warmth of all people 

00:07:49.890 --> 00:07:54.450
 who is accompanying us then 

00:07:51.330 --> 00:07:56.280
 also moments of certainty that we are going 

00:07:54.450 --> 00:07:57.750
 to get ahead that the fight is going to 

00:07:56.280 --> 00:08:03.270
 continue that is going to do the 

00:07:57.750 --> 00:08:05.220
 justice but within everything I think that 

00:08:03.270 --> 00:08:07.140
 we feel obviously in the 

00:08:05.220 --> 00:08:10.350
 responsibility that we ourselves 

00:08:07.140 --> 00:08:11.820
 with gratitude is not some mountain that 

00:08:10.350 --> 00:08:13.500
 we got on top but just the same 

00:08:11.820 --> 00:08:15.420
 we knew and we always have 

00:08:13.500 --> 00:08:17.130
 known that this is the path that we are going to 

00:08:15.420 --> 00:08:19.680
 carry in our life 

00:08:17.130 --> 00:08:21.810
 always now we reaffirm it simply 

00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:25.590
 and obviously we are going to put more 

00:08:21.810 --> 00:08:27.090
 commitment to this but that fire the 

00:08:25.590 --> 00:08:29.540
 life project that she also us 

00:08:27.090 --> 00:08:29.540
 instilled 

00:08:30.100 --> 00:08:35.620
 Well, my grandmother, I think it's obviously 

00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:38.360
 the seed of what my mother was is a 

00:08:35.620 --> 00:08:40.519
 extremely strong woman 

00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:43.310
 who obviously have hit us and not 

00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:45.860
 we will deny it but we also have 

00:08:43.310 --> 00:08:48.170
 a great strength and a great unity 

00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:52.190
 we have great confidence in 

00:08:48.170 --> 00:08:56.240
 she and she in us then I believe 

00:08:52.190 --> 00:08:58.550
 that everything feels good and 

00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.670
 also feel strong to follow the 

00:08:58.550 --> 00:09:04.120
 fight that she also taught him and that 

00:09:01.670 --> 00:09:08.220
 the work also takes it because she 

00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:09.930
 now it is also taking to the light 

00:09:08.220 --> 00:09:10.490
 that somehow also always 

00:09:09.930 --> 00:09:16.120
 i met 

00:09:10.490 --> 00:09:16.120
 of course it is the wind that carries it 

00:09:18.170 --> 00:09:27.900
 as an integral rebel fighter 

00:09:22.610 --> 00:09:30.870
 full of love and passionate about life 

00:09:27.900 --> 00:09:34.650
 well I think we want the 

00:09:30.870 --> 00:09:37.680
 remember we will not cut it as 

00:09:34.650 --> 00:09:40.440
 that she was a woman who had a 

00:09:37.680 --> 00:09:43.100
 great integrality of your thinking in 

00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:46.970
 his fight and what 

00:09:43.100 --> 00:09:51.590
 it also came as an integral vision 

00:09:46.970 --> 00:09:53.960
 anti systemic and hope of struggle 

00:09:51.590 --> 00:09:57.350
 for autonomy and many things I think 

00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:59.840
 me but that way you have to remind him 

00:09:57.350 --> 00:10:03.920
 remember in that integrality that she 

00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:06.950
 era and that cannot be reduced to 

00:10:03.920 --> 00:10:08.600
 one simple thing and now say until the 

00:10:06.950 --> 00:10:10.699
 government what 

00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:12.949
 that we all know that they too 

00:10:10.699 --> 00:10:14.870
 they identify with their fight that fight 

00:10:12.949 --> 00:10:18.740
 precisely also many times it was in 

00:10:14.870 --> 00:10:21.170
 against the projects proposed by the 

00:10:18.740 --> 00:10:24.230
 government the capitalist system 

00:10:21.170 --> 00:10:25.660
 then imperialism imperialism 

00:10:24.230 --> 00:10:27.139
 and she was an extremely woman 

00:10:25.660 --> 00:10:29.240
 anti-imperialist who believed in the 

00:10:27.139 --> 00:10:31.940
 solidarity of the people who believed in 

00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.840
 another way of living very different and that 

00:10:31.940 --> 00:10:39.019
 it was her 

00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:39.019
