The first lady of the Nation, María Juliana Ruíz, spoke with Snail News and took stock of the campaign that he leads in times of pandemic and referred to young Colombians. In addition, he confessed what he says in the president’s ear Ivan Duque And what would you do if your children, when they grow up, want to go out on the street to protest?
How have you been doing in times of pandemic?
It is undeniable that this has touched us all worldwide and mPerhaps the case has not been very different from that of the vast majority of Colombian families, where we have been called to reinvent family routines, to work as teachers. In my case with three young children, each one with a different challenge in terms of virtuality and access to education in a virtual way.
What is the balance of the campaign ‘Helping does us good’?
The most important thing is that precisely those aid arrived at the right time. Thanks to the use of Big Data we have been able to establish that, of the million markets, almost 6 thousand were delivered precisely in that call that we received from preventive isolation.
I would love for Colombians to feel proud to know that they were part of something, for Colombia, transcendental. This year, in the middle of the year, Colombia you learned of a figure that is really encouraging, it is not satisfactory, but it is encouraging and motivating: we reduced by more than 40% the reports of deaths due to malnutrition in our country and we did it in the middle of a pandemic.
What are you doing from your office to help young people?
I see opportunities more than difficulties. They may not be having a good time, they are out of work, but I can tell you that traveling the national territory is in the young people in whom I have seen the impetus, the desire, the creativity, the innovation head on, to propose assertive solutions to existing problems .
Do you speak to President Iván Duque’s ear? What do you advise?
I do not know if I speak to the ear, but I speak to the heart. I have always kept in mind that need to reinforce something that for him is a premise of life, and perhaps it has been for our family, and it is a comprehensive, broad vision of who and how we should positively impact, with a common thread that it has always been humanization, empathy.
If at any time your children come out to protest, Would you leave them in a country like Colombia where we have seen police repression?
Citizen aggression scares me more than police repression. But, protest is a legitimate right, I would not deny it to my children in this country and, I hope, in no other.
What I would keep in mind is that my children do not go out into the street in a violent way, that they do not go out with aggression, with hatred. I would assure myself, and today in the hearts of my three children we have planted what is necessary, so that they take to the streets with love, with joy, with enthusiasm, with proposals, with solidarity.
