[Music]
[Applause]
you believe that it is possible to move to
everyone to a point where there is zero
tolerance for corruption
I get up suddenly in the morning
well every morning I have a cup of coffee
I sit down to read the news and to
when i finish
I swear I think that you can not
discovered that I think it’s impossible
but I do not want to sit down and cry all
the mornings but I can not because that
I dedicate myself I do not dedicate myself to help to cry
I’m dedicated to fighting corruption
I do not think they need me to tell you
a lot so that they make an image of what
what corruption means all
we have an image in our heads
many of those times the image is
incredibly tragic as the year
happened when the building of the
álvaro obregón and 49 people died
because someone decided to put a roof
extra to a building without permission
It was also super tragic and painful
when 151 departments were
consumed in flames in the center of the
city of london
that in addition to the pain of losing people and
lose lives and lose houses the people that
I expected resources for the victims
a councilwoman decided to steal the for
go on vacation 61 thousand two euros
-Good pounds, I’m not confusing anymore
he stole them to go on vacation
it was also super super tragic and
painful when frog plaza in bangladesh
a whole building fell down killing
1,100 people and 2,500 wounded all that
people worked in maquilas doing
clothing
and they were making clothes for companies
who decided to turn their
local standards and go corrupt
they chose to go corrupt there in another
country in another country that is not yours and
that cost us 1,100 days
with these images how can we as
can we all here
rebuild our social life how
we can create an ethical compass that we
guide always the way to where we have
to go on what is right and what is
is what is wrong and that every time
we begin to deviate towards the subject of
corruption returns us returns us and
it marks us north of what it is
acceptable within our communities
how can we do something like that when we
they just handed down a sentence to an ex
governor who stole 61 billion
of weights
61 billion pesos is the
2-year budget of Quintana Roo
with absolutely all schools
social programs what you imagine 2
years of local government is the fund of
duarte retirement
it is inadmissible with this to talk about
ethical compasses with these levels of
money and soul and avarice seem
that is naive
especially when every day every
week a new scandal of
corruption
odebrecht paradise papers to the fifa
the fifa to the people who play football
and that is filled with endorphins and that is a
super happy moment not even there the
greed finds a limit
Furthermore, corruption can be
kill also removes dreams remove
Brazilian history knows it perfectly
because right now he is crying 200 years of
history that burned in the museum
national
for corruption
corruption seems to have no
limits or even borders because it
extends in fact you find partners
global pass the borders but what
difficult the most difficult thing is that while
further away is the affected minor is my
minor indignation is my pain and minor is
my scream
I as a feminist woman I am also
incredibly aware of what
means to make the other age
be the different not be the norm be the
another that is not part of my community does not
it’s like me then I can
dehumanize your pain does not hurt your
pain I’m not sorry because it’s far away
in this world we’re leaving
moving away from people more and more
they are there the blacks go there the
Indians are there those of the south those of
another country women women children
They are not like me and then I do not care
I’m not moving away from the pain and the
indignation and if it happens to another then
I do not care because it does not happen to me
because they are not from my community
the antonym of corruption is not the
honesty
the antonym of corruption is the
community
The only thing that can help us finish
with this cancer is to recognize the others
they are different and all their amazing
difference is not different from mine is
part of my community full of colors
until I can not recognize that the
others are part of me we’re not going to start
to create strong social fibers
in those holes where the social fabric is
flimsy is that the other age is that
there is individualism and that is
begins to loosen the social fabric and I
you stop importing you and how do you stop me from
import your I keep my compass because I do not
I care if I’m doing right or wrong
because it is a personal interest but
when I recognize you as part of
me as part of my community then
I can start thinking in plural to
think about collective
the sense of community
is actually the antidote against
corruption because then when the
compass point to my interests
personal I will know that I am breaking
a strong fabric a strong fabric what
I am destroying by interests
personal and that does not apply
that definitely is not worth
in this world and not only in Mexico
we have a fairly high tolerance
for the issue of corruption because
At the end of the day we know that there is
oiling the machine if you do not
fats the machine gets stuck especially
in countries like ours where the
corruption is made or rather the
system is made so that everything is
move with corruption
then how do you do it when the system
have up to be able to function in this
system
you have to oil the machine I’m not going
to ask none of those who are
here if it was part of an act of
corruption because I’m 100% sure that
They have been small or large but they have been
part of the continuum of corruption
because there’s no way to free you because
our system is made so that
fall for absolutely everything
all fall into corruption
imagine being a mother who does not want
leaving her daughter at school does not want
pay the fee to be part of the
school to be able to enter the school and
she alone is the only one who refuses
to pay a fee
the girl would be marked and the mother would be
indicated by bolt osa as complicated in
we do not like this country in this country and in
this planet we do not like to talk about
corruption we do not like to say what
it’s wrong it scares us
we just barely notice and be
pointed out as the problematic the
unruly
but we need everyone to start doing
those signs because they are super
required
in Japan he had to resign the minister
of the vice minister of education for having
fact acts of corruption had said
that it was a pretty honest country but
until either corruption and was given isr
and resigned because tolerance is much
minor to the corruption of which we have
we
we need to move all together and
together next to the resistance for
be able to end the worst cancer that
we have and that is to think in community
because everyone here is part of the
community and we can raise the value of
what it means to be in this community
imagine if all the companies and all
those who are you all who are
here all of you tomorrow rise up in
the mirror and think nothing and felt is
crying surely something I have to
do to support her in this fight against
corruption I have my community
cancún where we are working for
end against corruption and there are
community around the world we are afraid
but if we are if all together we
we move the fear is over and the next
tomorrow you are there I can support myself
something the community can refine my
compass and move to the side of the no
corruption when you leave the
community will raise the level the quality and
the benefit for all and it
multiply
to pay to the community is to pay against
corruption the problem is very
complex and probably you think
what I’m telling you is
incredibly idealistic
but maybe you can not go to
fight corruption frontally
but what they can do is each
tomorrow get up and choose to be part of
those who build community and so with
one with a very firm fabric among all
we are going to build something different
I invite you to reflect every morning
in front of the mirror if you want to be part of
the construction or destruction of
our society and our community
so on your compasses do something for more
small that is all counts and I invite you
to build a partnership together
with zero tolerance for corruption
