»The suffering still manifests itself violently: in hunger, in diseases, in the mass death of our children, in a racism that violates the essence of the human being, and in the contemptuous behaviour towards us poor Guatemalans, who are the majority. A very rich minority is imposing this situation on us - military and civilians - who have been profiting for centuries from this wealth created by the sweat and labour of the immense majority of our people. Now, though, the consciousness of our people, the organisation and the struggle, bear very vivid witness to a people who are striving for a better future.«
