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.

"Hold on until January 14th."

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...
