Antonio Romero Romero. Social Psychology of Conflict and Interpersonal Relations, University of Granada, Spain.

A few decades ago, one exceptional Latin American, the archbishop of San Salvador, Monseñor Romero, before being knocked down by the bullets of a death squad from this country, advocated that


'Those of us who have a voice should speak on behalf of those who do not have one'.


On this occasion the battle now being fought by other exceptional Latin Americans (the indigenous people of the Orellana region) is that to preserve their way of life, which is being directly threatened by all too familiar acts of genocide, which over time are usually connected with the actions of multinationals, which is why their fight merits our commitment and solidarity.


For this reason, I support campaigns such as the Yasuni Oro Verde. Their battle should be our battle, the existence of these people and their environment does not stop being the heritage of all humanity!”
