I was quite naive - I kept | giving dates to my family.
I told them, "hold on a month | until December 14th."
December 14 arrived: nothing.
January 14th arrived: nothing.
I have a daughter who is seven | and she asks me every day,
"Papa, don't you work?"
And I don't know how | to explain it to her.
Sometimes it crosses my mind | to just give up everything.
Lalo tells me to hang in there, | we're almost there.
But it's hard.
There were days when | all we had was...
eggplant and fried potatoes.
I swear, on my children.
Unfortunately, I thought that | this process would be shorter.
I know most of you | went through this but...
I just wanted to tell you my story.
This movement of recovered | companies...
...has become something | serious.
We're almost 200 companies, | with thousands of jobs recovered.
It's a dignified struggle, | full of beautiful experiences.
But we have a big obstacle.
The same people who dragged us | into misery and unemployment,
those who took everything from us,
are now trying to come back.
And for us it's a major threat.
I know some people | are angry at me...
... because they feel I haven't | given them all I could.
And they are right.
But I was also angry.
God made me face pain.
I confronted adversity.
I was on my knees.
Now I'm on my feet.
So let's go!
Menem, the third presidency.
The historical one.
We will impose order.
We will saturate the streets | of the Republic.
We will enforce respect | for the State of Law.
Among other things, | the right to private property.
If Menem wins,
there's no way we'll get to run | this factory ourselves.
Menem is like the factory owner.
They represent the same interests.
Rich impresarios, | poor factories and workers.
Rich politicians, and | the people dying of hunger.
They're the same, | the same interests.
And they protect each other.
I spoke to him, | I visited him in prison.
We saw each other after he got out.
He told me:
'I will change | everything.I'll give you back your factory.'
We have an occupied business | here - we're unemployed workers.
We're not going to take | propaganda...
...from a guy like Menem, | who swindled the whole country.
We're ripping these down so | people don't have to read this sh*t.
Come back Carlos, | come back now!
Come back Carlos, | come back now!
Come back Menem...
...to live in the new Argentina!
This says:
"Our dreams don't | fit on your ballots."And that's what I feel.
That's what brought me to | the decision not to vote.
This is the porcelain workshop,
one of the many our organization | runs for the unemployed.
Not only to say "no" to eviction...
