Before that all I want to thank the invitation I did my
friend, the Secretary general, Jose Miguel Insulza, on behalf of the OAS, also
thank to Interamerican Dialogue by sharing the vision of celebrating and give
the importance that deserves to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the
Esquipulas agreements, that marked the peace, democracy and the international
insertion of Central America. I also thank to my friends Donald Soldini and
Bill Goodfellow for their interest in our region.
The road to peace:
In the long days of hiding lived in the years prior to the democratic opening
in Guatemala and in most of the countries of Central America, in thought and
in discussions of political leaders that they were fighting through various
means against authoritarian governments, arose a question and a discussion:
Do achieve the democratic opening, in a quick and efficient manner, after 30
years of armed and political struggle without results.? What was the strategy
most appropriate to achieve with less violence and destruction, remove "old
generals of power" and begin a stage of democracy that opening the political
space and the possibility of economic development?.
It was then, when inspired by the thought of the Guatemalan and Nobel Prize
for literature, Miguel Angel Asturias and cited by a woman, Guatemalan and
award Nobel peace, Mrs. Rigoberta Menchu, in "Testimony" Miguel Angel, in the
celebration of the 100th anniversary of his birth, inspired us to start the
road to peace.
When Rigoberta wrote "the life and work of our Guatemalan brother, his words
written in literary pieces or articles and expressed in many public events,
show with contextual arguments that the words and ideas, are more effective
than weapons and violence".
That reminds me how we started the elaboration of the strategy "The Long fight
for democracy", which was an alternative to the guerrillas and repression of
the army, it was to resist and work on democratic ideas, in the strengthening
of citizenship and the resistance, we should be alive, and it was not easy
more Thant 300 political leaders were killed, I myself am a miracle, God saved
me from death in three attempts to assassinate me...
