Es un momento histórico para las comunidades étnicas, las personas afrodescendientes, pero sobre todo para las mujeres.It is a historical scenario that we are assuming and that's why it is worth trying.Those battles that we have given in the representation for so long because they are germinating in this movement of women who have decided to get into politics.It makes me very happy to be part of this moment.
Sin embargo, mientras en las listas al Congreso sí se ha visto la representación de las mujeres y de las comunidades étnicas, esto no ocurre así con los candidatos a la presidencia. En la Coalición Centro Esperanza, a la que pertenece el NL, no hay ninguna mujer…Yo he sido muy crítica de esto en el centro, mi candidato que es Juan Manuel Galán, por el New liberalism, lo sabe y creo que parte del ejercicio de hacer una lista de este carácter debe jugársela precisamente por mujeres diversas, de la periferia, porque saben que es un problema.I have criticized it and this is also democracy.And we have debated it.It is a very hard problem at this time, setting a position, of becoming counts, noting and people do not like but you have to put these issues in public opinion.We are a tremendously macho country and there is on the national stage the presidential candidacies.It is very difficult to be a woman and launch into politics.Our private life, our interests, how expensive it is to do politics, almost make us bore ourselves and do this aside as if this were not for us.I am a mother, wife, I am campaigning with the people and I am pending if my son has already ate, of the task that is pending, and one ends in these battles, especially women, making us aside in the exercise ofThe public because what happens is that we obviously privilege our families in the face of this public service work.For us it is more difficult.
¿Cuál fue, por otro lado, la razón ética o política por la que ingresó al NL?I think you have to return to the ethical exercise of politics.The commitment to the second most unequal country in Latin America after Brazil.That is barbarity. De cada 100 pesos que se administra al Estado, 86 se quedan en Bogotá y el resto lo manejan las regiones.Do you think that is ethical amid so much need?Do you think this country has to continue insisting on bogocentrism and that centralism that what it has done is to tear ourselves?What I mean by this is that getting into this matter is also an ethical commitment to recognize that we are a centralist country and that the periphery has to be counted.That social transformations are with the regions.I as a region woman assume that commitment to talk about those realities.We have to assume the moment of history.(Also read: The celebrities who will bet on politics in 2022 will achieve it?)
¿En caso de alcanzar una curul en el Congreso, cuál será la primera iniciativa que impulsará?We are talking about going in bench because we understand that a swallow does not make summer.And as a bench there are some approaches that are around economic recovery, a bench that has to work for women in differential politics, is a bench that believes in the defense of peace agreements and their implementation and that also means making the check ofAs far as we have arrived, how far we have fulfilled, what happens with violence in rural areas and that violence derived from the non -responsibility of complying with the agreements.But in addition, I have one issues that I must resolve.I am a defender of press freedom and instead of making gag law I have to go in defense of what I have represented and known.I will work to give possibilities to the media.In addition, I have to compromise as a Afro -descendant woman and that means working for the vulnerable people I represent.I do believe that we have to work on the reestablishment of trust and this is not about bills but citizenship construction.There are some of my flags and the legislative work that I plan to undertake.
Has hecho varias denuncias sobre la región Pacífico, en el Cauca, Buenaventura. ¿Su trabajo estará enfocado en esta zona?Yes, that is one of my convictions and above all because in this area most murders of social leaders have occurred in the department of Cauca.The multidimensional deck figures and we have serious crop replacement problems, we have a very strong drug trafficking problem on the coast and here we must make those political control debates of those responsible for these regions.I also think that work with communities is very important and I have dedicated myself to walking the entrails of the region.It is not possible for a child to be born in an apartment like Chocó is 8 chances of being poorer than one born in Bogotá.And if so, why we have not attacked that problem that year after year is repeated.Here is an inequality that was put in the entrails of the country.This also goes through lack of leadership but also for classism and racism, because they do not care about the lives of blacks, that does not care about anyone.
