Certainly one has to beware and there are people with bad faith and worse
intentions....But although I am inmensely grateful for the help... The
Resistance has payed its blood-duty...and we are not there... The President

work without the violence and none of us wants more dangerous violence... And
The Resistancia will go on working for its own goals, with less pressure.
