Monrabal affirms that there is no room for “any more things” in his head and he regrets that “nothing more they do than listen to lies from politicians “They are not supporting us in anything.” “My town is the last town in the Poyo ravine.

You don’t respect my painI wanted to be with the families of those affected; but I want you to respect my pain and for me they have not respected it because I did not feel like seeing them, I did not want to share the space” with them.
