“When I occupied the mayor’s office in the Martinez administration, they celebrated… they were peaceful, orderly and allowed public denouncement of the disasters of that administration. The Vazquez decree already existed, the ministry came and we left. Today I congratulate my daughter for her high school fight, with an identical occupation and I’m a disgrace and it’s a crime and blablabla. The ones who have no shame are you!!! They partisan everything!! Debate of ideas and respectful 0″, replied Ripoll.

The high school students demonstrate it with their fight, which is overshadowed by violent people who take all the attention. Debate days, bathroom repairs, benches. I am proud of my militant daughter, fighter and with values. And I will always be and I will always accompany her as my children do with me. For some it’s wrong, I’m sorry I don’t go through life doing what others like, “she wrote.
