At the same time, he pointed out that “we need to set ourselves objectives and affordable goals to which we give a strong dose of hope, capable of supporting the efforts that will allow us to achieve the goals we intend to attain for our loved ones and ourselves.”

Medina pleaded that this hope is accompanied by the necessary confidence and optimism “to inspire our daily work, with the firm intention of improving ourselves as individuals and as citizens,” the statement added.
