What aspects of the Law are you still working on?
You have raised a series of subjects I hardly talk about
I'm more interested in questions such as: who has the power today?
For example. Where is the power?
Because, of course, you can vote whatever you want
but, at the end, the politics will be exactly the same
Are we still living in a democracy or this is a disguised oligarchy?
I believe we live in disguised oligarchies, even though people have rights
Which is a lot, it's important
Especially the rights concerning freedom
But for other people social rights are more important
because in order to have an opinion you first need to have a full belly
One cannot rebel with an empty stomach
These are the subjects of political philosophy
which keep me up at night and make me write a couple of lines
You said our system is more similar to a disguised oligarchy than to a democracy. Can this be changed?
The only way is more democratic power
We live in complex societies and democracy cannot exist without informed citizens
Education is important
The world of the Internet is a great thing and it's being proven
But not only there
There's a lot of information and people can access it outside curricular systems
It's just beginning, because the immense majority of people cannot use a computers
we mustn't fool ourselves
but I think good things may come this way, in years to come
Also, people today know that chopping heads off is useless
that what must be done is changing institutions
This is a great advancement
Seeing the people from the movement Democracia Real Ya (Real Democracy Now)
the Ya -Now, in Spanish- is really powerful
with their pacifism is fantastic
Young people have been educated to not interrupt people who are talking
I still interrupt people. I should hit myself
To listen, to defend things without violence
40, 50 years ago, in the study centers people didn't work like that
And it's a great thing
Despite the failure of the education system
there are things which are going extremely well
And that makes me really excited
I think it's really interesting
