What do we tell our children about our homeland, our heroes, our wise men? Internationalism and the denial of our homeland will transform us into a mass that will easily dissolve and we will be enslaved and disappear. Our identity must be our language, our ancestral religion, our customs and traditions, our timeless values, our attachment to the roots of our race (omaemo) and with these resources and with modern technological civilization we can shine in the world. But first and foremost, let them remain free"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
