thank you all and all those who

you are here sharing something so

beautiful and so necessary

my deepest gratitude to all

you and you and I remember more

in solidarity with all those people who

today they could not come

[Applause]

special wish to be here today because

almost ten years since I came by

reus

the last time I came here was with

with moon beams to roll I am the juani

I keep wonderful memories deciding

scenes and and the truth that yesterday

wandering around when I arrived I passed by

in front of the stadium of your reus

deportiu very well making a season

wonderful to see if he wins this afternoon in

zaragoza but I have to share a

image that I felt there seeing the

full stadium and share it with you

because because I’m very inside and it’s

that watching the stadium doors

I saw a row of boys and girls who

every day die of hunger could

fill our stadium four times

every day four times you notice

what that means is hard yes but it is

real and is happening now they would ask us

a favor that raise your hand those

for those who name the island

mean something right now I ask you a

please all those who have raised

the hand and those who do not close their eyes

three years two years ago and a half one

Turkish beach appears the body of a

drowned little boy is two years old

wears a red short-sleeved pullover

blue sky shorts next to him

even military does not know how to take what

I opened your eyes now you have been with

island

you remember you know why because

name because he is a person because

system made a big mistake to the

allow us to empathize with him

note that the policy of

communication with the subject of

migrants has always been that of

talk about them with adjectives or with

non-sub-Saharan refugees numbers

Syrian Maghrebis

100 500 thousand 15 and a denominator as a

fence that prevents them from entering or a pit

common that is the mediterranean where it

choke the image of Islam or stirred

the consciences to all alive that

really our immigration policy

it’s tremendously unfair that we can not

look the other way

she spent almost three years away in

Turkey

You know how many children have been

drowned coming this year here in

our coasts you can not know it for

what do they give us that information they do not want

stay country

they hide it the system committed the

big mistake of not knowing that

that child is called dance they do not want

more ailan is because we could not

endure that and we would demand that

will change our murderous policies

started this talk with something so hard

has been for us to realize what

what does it mean to fight today fayt

we are talking about life and death

while we watch football in the

television while we ask ourselves

who is better if messi ronaldo me that

set and that is the reality

you imagine 20,000 ailan is dressed

with the red short sleeve jersey and he

they planted blue sky to the door of the

Reus Deportiu stadium every day for

fill it four times let’s go so

away mileuristas five years ago we

they were sorry

today is that we envy them for us

they are incredible of good eye a thousand euros is

that gives you economic stability today

has not changed nor the 1,000 euros nor

they have changed us

perception of reality have we

changed the mentality

we have come to admit that to allow

that made us believe that this is going to

be a passing crisis, this will not happen

it’s a bad streak is a lie is a

paradigm shift is a change of

society wants cheap labor already

who has it and we have done it

that is our sad reality and the

system is so damn

smart that for the first time in the

history has gotten that

labor precariousness in which we are

living all that has reached degrees

of slavery in which the people who

has even the jobs can not

get to the end of the month for the first time in

the history

also for the first time in history

and has gotten us to

slaves we do not rebel because we

we want free to what extent

perversion has come that system does not

in that line they would pose which

it should be the role of the artist

today limit yourself to entreteneros to

amuse pretty bad day pass

sberbank to have a good time that is

they laugh that they do not think more should be

reflect what we are seeing

limit ourselves to see it and and silence not to do

nothing or should be trying to improve it

lecturing people but doing

questions to people so that people

look for your answer so that people

decide what you want to do

I made that decision and I respect those of

all my classmates and

profession each one does what he thinks

must do

I took the opposition to try

change that and there are so many

tools that we have but so many

from selecting a paper or another in

function of what we think we think

that we have to defend to give workshops

solidarity to homeless people without

home to children living in slums

marginal as real glen

people are leaving addictions to

collectives as mothers against

repression or mothers against the drug to

have tools to count their

examples of fighting their stories and

share it with people in scenarios of

cultural centers and institutes of

prisons that carries that message of

hope and struggle that can be

do something that is a lie that they are

others who decide we decide

let’s be protagonists of our lives

secondary to the ce

also that is the reality that we live

in that reality but we are what

we only do what we do

in a time like the one that has touched us

live in which everything happens to all

speed at which we stay in the

superficiality of things do not be

manipulated an incredible way

notice that they do it every day we

you have noticed that every day there

more soccer matches by the

TV

I’m really playing football

here before I was a fan of Barcelona

is still there and again the boat today is

that I’m already really fed up but

look at another topic the space of the

weather in our

television news every time it gets to be

an own program even with advertisements

in the middle and such because they speak to us so much

of time and neither of change

climatic because they put us some

images of the fat gentlemen in

swimsuit bathing on a beach

in benidorm in november and they sell it to us

how to notice that good day is good in

place to think about care this is the

global warming because they shut us up

that there have been 15 thousand scientists who

have issued a warning to the

humanity saying gentlemen this is

it ends and we will not have time to change

this is too late

but we are still talking about the

time and that comes to sell more

cars and that more tourists come when

we are realizing that from that

what we are doing is to approach

at that moment, that is not the true

manipulation and if the artist has

these elements as a citizen for

rebel against that give this talk

is to take a mic every time they put you

a camera in front and talk all

you and you also have it

you devote to the profession to which

you can dedicate to fight to improve

this is some clue in the room to a

young plumber chosen well in the

profession, then, to see if I were

Plumbers would take a chance would try

fix the pipes of a center

busy or I would go to a house a couple

of exercises that can not fix the

Heating is the fix for free

would try

get to the people who are to me

around if he were a teacher he would be with

the children who need that

school reinforcement and could do

a lot of things if it were a

administrative of a company

you know how many people depend

of a form to get them evicted

today he does not know how to read and we only live

Every day in Real Glen in Madrid arrives

the court for a demolition order

accompanied by 150 riot police with

helicopters at seven in the morning

the children have not yet gone to

school in what we do from the

parish of san carlos borromeo where

lawyers and people are collaborating

can confront that we lock ourselves

inside the shacks of that town

of the henhouse so that when they arrive

with the eviction order of demolition in

this case let’s say tools that are missing

this and so we can prevent it from

knock down not the two that do have

really leave but the nine that

would pull for sympathy and then when

the riot police are leaving we make another

thing and is to prevent people who

they lived in the shanties that have

knocked down again build with the

remains that have left the shack there

At the same place

we tell them up to three meters more

this side because that’s how they will have to

start a new demolition file

but the same the same license

I would serve

there are many things that can be done

without getting on an airplane in a

wonderful trip to africa not and it turns out

that you see there is someone to whom they are

deporting against their will

simply do not buckle the

belt that plane will not take off a

Such a small gesture can change lives

of a person and is within our reach

you know that you can help the

migrants who have just arrived

here teaching them Catalan and

Spanish

you know that homeless people who

is what they are most grateful for when

we pass by his side

let’s look, let’s not pretend that they do not exist

we watched them we stopped and we hated hello

how are you simply that treat them

like people

I say this from experience or workshops

homeless people for years

and I have not seen anyone more supportive than

them for a whole year I was

working with them and in while

he rehearsed a role in that he does not need

nobody that gave me the reply to day already

I was a person but see

that workshop group on stage myself

I said thank you but I do not need

no reply does not have to be

you are here and he told me to take no longer

I know but I’m here so you do not

you just feel that really talk about that

human quality

all this is within our reach

even if we’re standing still

really that ‘s tremendous and the subsidy

I do not even tell you

only those who charge it but for against

that see the positive part what is that

positive part that we have time

let’s share that time let’s give that time

Eduardo Galiano said that there was a

head of an Indian tribe that had the

fortunate to leave the planet from

above and saw that human beings were

like fueguitos and that there were not two

the same ones they shouted more others less

they took out sparks not of a color

or another but that that boss does not

some games attracted attention

concrete that illuminated so much they want

possible to watch the odd walk and that

in addition all those who approached

those games

they also warmed up that kindling

is the global and globalization is a

precious image of what the

globalization

today our game here on in

reus for each one of us and us

can start in patagonia as

learned the one of santiago maldonado

we can do it

globalization is something that by

Unfortunately they have sold us very badly because

what he has done is like this something

terrifying has globalized misery

precariousness and injustice

we globalize solidarity the

love joy is in our hand

let’s act here to understand those flames

think that manipulation to which

we are being submitted has coincided

with a radical society change

we have gone from a society that the

society give the floor to the society of

the picture

I’m turning 60

when I was 18

most of the books were

prohibited or not part of your

attractive undeniably but you had

that look for your moment your active attitude

catch some black signs on a background

white and in that space of privacy

you started to abstract to look

relate concepts

this as clear with that and llegabas to

analyze and form your own opinion

today with the society of the image we have been

stolen to the imagination

all we do is move a finger

to zap, it gets colder and

I do not know how they called him and it ‘s true we

they give it all done it creates an attitude

passive and in the world like this in the

that everything is politics

if I’m going to buy some underpants

I’m doing real politics if

he bought them the English court favors with

the type of economy if you buy them in the

corner store favor the

contrary

if you bought them made in China or in

indian stojic maybe favoring the

exploitation of women and children and

I buy them brand even the best

is favoring tax evasion

that is a political act we want it or

it does not hurt me when I hear

young people theresa year passed from

politics I’m a pasota because a

Someone once said and it is true that

others more than the contraction of two

words passive idiot is please

please do not take it by flag

please hai make grace

note that the impact of the new

technologies that we are having and

it really is amazing the gypsy town

for example it ‘s a structured people

hierarchically had his patriarch his

council of elders who apply their

own law

today they are finding that the

young people do not recognize the authority of

the elderly because I know how I’m going

judge my uncle who does not know what it is

facebook and this is how it has happened there is a

generation that does not have to send the

they had educated to send and there is another

that has no reference is

leading and is one of the factors that

contributes to this the dependence of

Evangelist worship the set as something

as the new technologies have some

consequences that as you are not in

first line do not even value that

happen I do not remember that I talked to

eduardo aute before they had

heart attack

on this subject and he is against the

new technologies says no no I do not

I want no one to control me from the

first baby bottle to the last powder

then he has no mobile and but

changed talking about the same thing with

federico mayor zaragoza el with his 83

years said he won for the first time the

humanity has the opportunity to

change the world has access to

information to agree about

with others

that is a tool that we can not

stop taking advantage

I remember that he told an anecdote

clear federico has lived a life

wonderful and her friends

I do not know how Nelson Mandela does not make

months

A month ago came to Real Glen to give

a talk about peace and he told us a

his anecdote with mandela said that a

day he was discouraged he did not tell

Mr. Mandela, you think that really

this world has a solution and nelson

Mandela and a half made it clear that he has

it’s yours we will not see it because we ‘re already

older but will soon come to that

solution children and which says that the

women hold power because the

women rarely use violence to

solve a problem while the

men we really stopped using the and

he was absolutely right the world will be

feminist or it will not be

that’s clear

[Applause]

what time runs out and he wanted

kenya transmitiros is an anecdote that

it happened to me three years ago and three years ago

rolling the lasa and zabala movie in

Donostia with a photo on Facebook

the bay of the shell and I put rolling the

bolt zavala bay of the shell sun

what else can I ask

and one of the five thousand friends of

facebook so I never met a

woman sends me a message that says or the

key rolling the cemetery scenes

in tolosa

I told him if this is the last week and

he has taken out because he told me his story

I did not know her at all but she told me

I’ll have a boyfriend of a lifetime

I lived in Barcelona and that in a moment

of his life he met a boy from Tolosa

who was called Juan Carlos fell in love

madly from Juan Carlos but he continued

with the life-long boyfriend he had a

daughter but still in love with Juan

Carlos and they had a very

pretty one day they saw a spider

halfway between barcelona and the site

where he was working because

I was traveling girl came the day when

she rethought her life and said I

I want to live with Juan Carlos Iza Mobile

and I’m going to live with him he went to

everyone to see him and Juan Carlos told him that

not that he could not because he had leukemia

and he had a few months left of that life

woman told me please bring her some

flowers to the grave

I told him indisputably, of course, what

I will take but please tell me what is your

favorite poem which was to be able to read

he had it very good taste Juan Carlos

was the elegy miguel Hernandez

I commented watching a filming plan that

the next morning I had 2 to 4

free to escape Tolosa and she

organized everything from Barcelona

phone spoke yesterday with a series of

people like I catch the train I’m going to

tolosa and I go to the florist that I

he had said neither yes Carlos mario pits and

if he says look he called me

this woman to tell her story of

boy has already paid me everything with the

card and he gave me this tape and I

allowed to add this tape that

I will love you always beautiful did not take the

bouquet take a taxi and the taxi driver already

I was about 70 years old

I told him the story to ask him to

I recorded on video while I read the

poem and deposited the flowers left

of course if you do not worry being both

and peak of the afternoon I thought the

cemetery will be closed but not

I got there and the coach told me

I was expecting a big kid from the

north should call signal and to

vary and and he says Carlos I do not know if

you can see that teaches you the tomb of

Juan Carlos says let me see before the

suitcase date so far with the

bullet recipe and went to John’s grave

Carlos Lee and that poem between

flowers and the taxi driver I managed to catch

the taxi return to the station to

back to the shoot I asked the taxi driver

that I owe you of the race is not me

said anything please let me contribute to

that love story

look good a woman in Barcelona to

through social networks

brings out the best of four guys who are

or know of an actor from an uncle who

has a florist a taxi driver and a

gravedigger and made us the best of the

gifts and not even propose it

give us this story that is real

just as it is to tell us about

counted

that woman could not be otherwise

it’s called hope and it’s true it’s like that

then that woman taught me many

things that small is the home of what

bigger than the longest road

always start with a single step that

it depends only on us

turn on those projects those that spoke

Galeano and he really told me a lot

things that woman with that story does not

he got to know her personally not

we have relation of those of facebook and

I know that from today

you and you are going to know those

20,000 there is wool is every time you pass

ahead of our stadium

I ask my hope two things to me

he taught everything he said everything

He told me where I should go and I

He remembered a phrase that someone told me

ever

everything I retained I lost it only me

It is what I gave what I ask is that

when you pass in front of our

stadium

listen to your dancers let that

they mark your way they will tell us

how to move forward and the other thing that yes

I ask please is that you never leave

to encourage the sports reus
