Thank you to both witnesses for appearing.
I hope to have a second round to ask you questions about your paper, Mr. Mejía. I should note and put on the record that it has already been largely discredited. The ENS has said a number of things, including that the paper does somewhat employ smear tactics and a false thesis. They've also said the following in response to the paper:
The violence against trade unionists, in addition to persisting, has become more acute in its various forms during this seven-year period, such as threats, arbitrary detentions, harassment, attacks, kidnappings, illegal raids by security forces, and exceed the number that occurred from 1986 until the end of the 1990s. These statistics corroborate that, although there have been some changes and some indicators, there has been no structural change in anti-union violence.
I wanted to get that on the record. Hopefully, I'll have a second round so I can question you more closely on what the data does reveal.
I'd like to go to you, Mr. Rosero--
