“A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation.”
Gustavo Petro

“Al fin y al cabo, los obreros industriales sentían, y algunos sienten eso hasta hoy, que, al haber alcanzado como asalariados, un lugar en la sociedad, con conquistas laborales, la lucha de los pobres no era legítima.”
Gustavo Petro, Una vida, muchas vidas

“El M-19, entonces, estaba defendiendo un populismo armado. Una democracia social y un proceso de industrialización con justicia social. Mejor dicho, un pacto entre clases, que llamó el “Diálogo Nacional”.”
Gustavo Petro, Una vida, muchas vidas
