15 June 2012
Alain Berset presents the Caritas Prize 2012 to José María Romero, a Guatemalan smallholder and founder of the association “Instancia Tierra Norte”. He speaks to him in Spanish.
He traces the life of a sharecropper who has fought several times to keep the land he farms and to feed his family, and salutes “un esfuerzo extraordinario defendiendo la dignidad humana y la justicia social”.
