00:00That, naturally, I spent eight years in prison.
00:04My partner, something like that, they helped me with some contributions
00:08so that I could buy medicine, and that's over now.
00:11What I need is a job where I can buy my medicine,
00:15where I can keep fighting, where I can keep living,
00:18and to be able to pay my expenses, which are a lot,
00:21because I have to pay for apartments, I have to pay for vehicles,
00:24I have to pay for everything, everything, everything, I have to pay for it.
00:27If I don't have a job here in this country, I'm going to die.
00:30And more with so much medicine.
00:32You realize, look at the table, all the medicine I have,
00:35the insulin I have to buy.
00:37A single carton like this costs 1,800 pesos.
00:40Look at the studies, there are five studies that we haven't been able to do
00:43because, ultimately, I don't have the money, I don't have insurance.
00:46I have the government insurance, and that doesn't get me anywhere.
00:48You are a training lawyer.
00:50When you go to look for a job, what do they tell you?
00:52No, I fill out the resume, I send it, and they definitely don't call me anymore.
00:56That's what happens.
00:57Because remember, here in our country, if you don't have a job somewhere,
01:00you definitely don't get a job.
01:02That's our problem.
01:03I don't know why I studied, right?
01:05Because I studied thinking that my way of life was going to change,
01:08that I was going to move forward, that I was going to be different.
01:10And I spent money that, in reality, I couldn't even spend.
01:13In fact, I even wrote to the law school.
01:16I sent them the photo and I did everything.
01:18And I don't even know if they read it, because they definitely haven't answered me.
01:22In what areas have you looked for a job?
01:24Because despite your condition, the medication, and all that,
01:28you don't have a disability, anything that prevents you from working?
01:31No, no, no.
01:32In the commercial civil area, which is where I specialized,
01:35or in the real estate area, any of those two.
01:37I rent apartments.
01:39If they show up, I make a rental contract.
01:42I make a vehicle transfer, a land transfer, a house transfer.
01:46I do all that, but definitely,
01:49you go out and definitely, if there are no problems, as I say, there is nothing.
01:53As I said, it was a recommendation from the President of the Senate to the public defender.
