00:00 I feel that there is a sense of unity among us.

00:09 They have started to build a bridge and a bridge of peace.

00:16 They have tried to build our peace.

00:23 I feel that they have done something, and they have struggled with their work.

00:32 They are now talking about how to build a bridge of peace.

00:42 This is a difficult time.

00:45 Because, during the past month, we have lost our peace officers.

00:56 If they had been honest and refused to go abroad,

01:00 how would it have been for the people who have suffered until now?

01:07 That is why I want to speak and I want to be direct.

01:15 The politicians here, we will continue with them.

01:20 By the way, you know that this sector of peace is not like other sectors.

01:31 We are dealing with issues that concern life.

01:37 That is why we are not doing politics.

01:40 If you want to do your politics, go and do it somewhere else.

01:45 And we continue here, I will say that I do not want to see any politicians in my meeting to discuss this.

01:52 I will not look for a job.

01:54 I will not look for a job.

01:56 I will not look for a job.

01:58 I will look for a job to live, to have a life, to have a place to live,

02:02 and to feel that our lives are safe.

02:05 If politicians come to the meetings to discuss peace,

02:09 to bring a knife, to bring a sarcasm,

02:12 to insult our peace officers,

02:15 or those who have paid a lot of money for us to go abroad,

02:23 I will not accept that.

02:26 We are giving them the opportunity to do politics.

02:29 They are not ashamed.

02:31 They know that our work is hard.

02:33 We do not sleep.

02:35 When they go to sleep, we do not sleep.

02:39 And the small mistakes we make are bad.

02:43 And that bad thing has been with us,

02:46 sometimes, not all of us, not even those who we have hurt.

02:50 That is how we fight.
