pandemic has left us some lessons and if the pandemic is not enough, it must be enough to look at us in this room, in this hybrid meeting. We are in these conditions and this silent enemy called COVID-19 has plunged us into what Gramsci would call "darkness": when the old world has not yet died and the new one has not yet been born, it is in this chiaroscuro that monsters can awaken. The only thing that can save us from these monsters is dialogue, respect for freedoms, solidarity, coordination, agreement and, therefore, states that defend every one of our rights. It is with states present and with strong international systems that we can defend the freedom of every one of our people. Finally, I propose to think of the approach to these issues from a rights perspective, as proposed by this organisation, so that they can exist not only so that new rights can exist, but also and above all so that states can guarantee the rights that already exist. I very much look forward to two fruitful days of work ahead of us, and thank you very much for your attention and attendance.
