Opinion Sur
Important global meetings took place in Rome (G-20) and Glasgow (UN Climate Change Conference); meanwhile millions of beings in poverty and indigence searching for ways of surviving every day and every night. Would there ever be a world free from the greedy and selfish?

No more poverty: popular mandate and political determination
It is possible to solve poverty; there are resources and talent to do so. A popular mandate is needed to demand it electorally as well as political determination to achieve it.

Reflections
Regarding how neoliberalism penetrates First, danger in implanted by those who are the true architects of danger and then they put themselves forward to fight it (…) This type of mafia power runs from the law quoting the law, they embody the corruption in its germinal and propitiatory state, criticizing corruption.
