Shortly after I was elected to the Senate in the 1980s, I served as chairman of the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee. And we spent a lot of time focused on Colombia, which was at the time facing some incredibly difficult circumstances and some very tough choices. I’ve had the opportunity now to visit Colombia twice since becoming Secretary, and I have gotten to see firsthand the extraordinary transformation that has taken place in Colombia. In the 1990s we worked very hard on Plan Colombia, and it was controversial at the time, but it resulted in assisting this transformation to take place, together with the extraordinary courage of the people of Colombia, who really fought to reclaim their country. And it’s a great success story.

      Pero tu también estas haciendo un gran sacrificio y sufrimiento por todos los  ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos de América y Gran Bretaña; Australia y Canadá; Serbia y Polonia; Alemania e Italia; Bélgica y los Países Bajos; Suecia y Suiza; Finlandia y Francia; América Latina y la India; toda Ucrania y millones de rusos, para revertir el mal por bien, aunque temporalmente cueste un tiempo. Estamos seguros que triunfará el sentido común y con Conciencia será superado este momento.

        You support the citizens of the United States of America and Great Britain; Australia and Canada; Serbia and Poland; Germany and Italy; Belgium and the Netherlands; Sweden and Switzerland; Finland and France; Latin America and India; all Ukraine and millions of Russians, but to reverse the evil in this present moment the forces of good can not yet. Good, of course, won, but this victory may not happen instantly - we need to go all the way to overcome and awareness.

      Вас поддерживают граждане Соединенных Штатов Америки и Великой Британии; Австралии и Канады; Сербии и Польши; Германии и Италии; Бельгии и Нидерландов; Швейцарии и Швеции; Финляндии и Франции; Латинской Америки и Индии; вся Украина и миллионы россиян, но переломить зло в данный настоящий момент силы добра ещё не могут. Добро, конечно, ПОБЕДИТ, но эта ПОБЕДА не может произойти мгновенно – необходимо нам всем пройти путь преодоления и осознания.

On the integration of minorities in Europe, this is a debate, I think, that within member states in Europe, in – I would say in the global community is – has been going on for decades and probably is going on for decades. I would say that there are different models, different histories, and different traditions. What we have to get right in this moment is the fact that we need to work together. You know that very well. Victims of the attack in Paris were not only called Louis or Charb or Anne; there was an Ahmed that was killed by other people that were having names of the same roots, which means that this is a common fight. I would not go on the line of saying that this is minorities against majorities, also because we have different minorities, in Europe as in the United States. We are living in complex societies, and this is our richness. Our strength is the fact that we are different, but we are united and we live together.

Dear Dr. Ernesto Garcia and Dr. Alexander Vasiljev,

A SU SANTIDAD EL PAPA FRANCISCO 

SANTIDAD¡¡

Nosotros mantenemos muy sinceramente la aspiración como cristianos,  juntamente con la Iglesia  Católica, procurando el desarrollo armónico de todo el Mundo manifestado.

Consideramos, con admiración y respeto, las iniciativas globales, que desde la Ciudad del Vaticano, el Papa,  tratando de ayudar  al Mundo, imprime su especial sentido dando testimonio de Cristo en todos los rincones de la Tierra.. Ello es una necesidad, no solo para el ámbito católico, sino para toda la Humanidad.

Tras esta introducción de nuestro Comité, sus principios y algunas de sus actividades, le pedimos Su Santidad sus oraciones e influencia  por la rápida liberación  de la patriota ucraniana Nadia  Savchenko, encarcelada como prisionera de guerra  en las cárceles de Rusia.

Now is the time for definitive action – to clear the outstanding technical, contractual, and financial hurdles…to finalize the legal, regulatory, operational, and market conditions required for greater investment… and to diversify our energy supplies.

We have the knowledge and the means to do all of these things. All we need is political will, leadership, and courage. Political will to focus our governments on this effort in the midst of competing and often urgent priorities. Leadership to change the way our governments and industries do business. And courage to innovate, take risks, and transcend our differences for the common good.
