Briefly, there is a lack of other options. That's why, for instance, I'm referring to disagreement on other agreements of a nature that could impact the rural economy and lead to hundreds of thousands of peasants losing their livelihood.

The third option is joining the guerrilla movement, and the fourth option is organized crime.
