[Witness spoke in Spanish, interpreted as follows:]
Yes, in fact I feel that there is a big difference between formal equality and substantive equality. In terms of substantive equality of a full exercise of women's political rights, while we have made great progress, there remains a long road ahead related to decision-making.
With respect to your question about allies, yes, we've made progress. I think we do have male allies who have contributed to our cause to make qualitative advancements in women's rights.
Nonetheless, I think we could talk about individuals and in that sense, what I don't yet see is a will by the state as a whole to turn this willingness, this desire, this rhetoric and this discourse into a reality, into concrete and tangible facts. We see this, for instance, in the justice reform, which in my opinion is one of the pillars for women's rights to be made effective through existing legislation. For example, a few weeks ago, we lost a major European Union fund that was earmarked for justice reform. The ministry of justice has been unable to implement a plan and a program for justice reform, which in my opinion, as I mentioned before, is the most important aspect of this.
