Day Three

Have you ever attend to a demonstration?

I started feel interested on attending to some demonstrations, when I was on high school. First of all, I have to admit that the first times I did it to satisfy my curiosity; I was intrigued because I didn't understand why the people feel motivated to attend to this kind of reunions, even if there's gonna be for sure crowded, noisy, hot and with a very unlikely posibility of getting solve the problems that they were demonstrating.

I am aware that not a few people actually disagree only when they face the simple idea of the demonstrations, and not only that they are strongly convinced that most of the people that a attend the demonstrations are paid only for being there. Well, that's not completely true but neither is completely false.

I went two months ago to a citizen meeting where was supposed to arrive Andrés Manuel López Obrador, in order to march with all the other citizens against the public policy done by the president regarding the oil. I'm not gonna talk about the whole movement, but being part of it I can say that fortunately, that there still a large number of people that actually believe on the importance of demonstrating against the things that just doesn't work on our country.

Two weeks ago, I attended a reunion where the same character that I mentioned before arrived, and I can say even now that a demonstration per se would not make an immediate change but is an effective tool to make people realized that they are actually the ones who have the capability to make a change by means of organisation and an increasing consciousness.
