Rigoberta MenchuThe culture of death is imposed by economic and political interests, the arrogance of power, corruption. I blame the first world for having taken our riches for so many years.

Those that have caused and tolerated the death of our people, those responsible for the plundering of the third world. Silence is also part of repression.
