![“I made reference continuously to the killings, the death, the life taken by all of these narcotrafficking gangs and human smugglers.

It's a great pain that I'm taking, because this nation [Mexicans] doesn't deserve a drama like this…” quote by Pope Francis](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c7a/pope-francis-85_death_i-made-reference-continuously-to-the-kil_2083898.jpg)
![“There are martyrs [between Mexican people], now I will canonize two. It is a population that you can't explain, you can't explain it because the word 'people' is not a logical category, it's a mythical category.” quote by Pope Francis](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a01/pope-francis-85_categories_there-are-martyrs-between-mexican-people_154846.jpg)

It has become a bit technocratic.” quote by Duncan Green](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d17/duncan-green-20105_activist_some-kinds-of-activists-are-more-willing_57391.jpg)
