Democracy is like three oxen pulling a plough. The oxen are the independent powers, but you have to walk in the same direction; otherwise, you cannot plough and that is what was happening in Colombia. One ox was walking in one direction, the other in another direction, so the democracy was not working.

There is a lot of inequality in Colombia. We have to correct that.

There is land in Colombia, fortunately, for everybody. We don't have to expropriate land from people who are cultivating that land legally.
