IN STEREO

During the last [protest], we saw that people with disabilities, their own police gas them. Among ourselves! We are not different countries divided by borders. But [it’s] not because they want to; it’s because they are commanded from above. [The problem is] the president, the government, those who are now in charge. Everyone is against the police, [but] when I see the news [that people] are throwing urine, stones, and more... They are doing their job. Maybe they’re doing that to someone from your family. We don’t know what’s going on. That’s the way it is. The same happens with our government – I don’t think anyone agrees with it. Not everything is bad – there are good things that the government has done. I mean, much more for education, for health, for example. This thing with the bonus as well: to encourage the children to go to school, to college.

I mean, that’s something that wasn’t given in the past. Or to pay a person who is pregnant. Free health care… I mean, there are good things. And nothing is like before. That is, only an elite could work in the offices, in the government. Now it is everyone. There are no differences if you are high class, low, or average. I like that, of course! All a mix. Before, only the fancy people were in government. But now you go, and everything is a mix. So they give opportunities. Not everything is wrong. There are good things. [But] not everything. I think that each country experiences its government differently. Some will have many similarities, but I think they are all different. For example, what Venezuela is experiencing is another type of government. But sometimes it’s like the president wants to adopt that. – Gris
