Mi experiencia me dice que lo que la gente quiere y necesita -en Indonesia, en
Turquía, en Italia, en los Estados Unidos, en Brasil, en la Argentina o donde
sea- es básicamente lo mismo. La gente quiere comida en la mesa, una vivienda
básica, un gobierno que funcione, que en las fuerzas de seguridad haya
personas confiables, a las que no tengan que tenerles miedo, educación y
salud. ¡La gente de todo el mundo quiere lo mismo!
