Buenaventura can no longer handle the events of the moment, it needs structural solutions to structural problems. No cotton to buffer the wound, we need to intervene.

The Church works for the proclamation and the complaint, in order to live in peace. This task begins in the family, which is the first school, and where there should be no violence. We must be agents of life, respectful of people, diversity and the environment.

I told the President of Colombia that in Buenaventura there were more than a thousand deaf people that needed assistance, among many other groups of the population. But I realized that the local authorities are also deaf and dumb.
