Me llamo Verónica, le escribo desde México. Vi su entrevista con el Prof Lottaz, me llena de esperanza saber que del otro lado del mundo tienen claro lo que valen y son capaces. Gracias por su excelente análisis y el esfuerzo de estos años!
“My name is Verónica, I write from Mexico. I saw your interview with Prof Lottaz, it fills me with hope to know that on the other side of the world you clearly know what your capabilities are worth. Thank you for your excellent analysis and effort over these years”.
I am most touched by your words, Verónica. A peaceful globalised world is possible. Might not be in my lifetime but it is possible.
(Verónica, fiquei muito comovida. Um mundo globalizado e pacífico é possível. Talvez não durante a minha vida, mas é possível.)
