« I think that Marulanda is a mythic figure. A legendary man. The oldest guerrilla fighter in the world. He is the one who especially represents the peasant, because he comes from part of a peasant background. Thats why he has so much support in the countryside. Although some people dont like to admit it, in many zones of the FARC, they have substituted the State and have converted themselves in the true protectors of the poor. Marulanda is a very simple man. In music, he loves tangos like any good peasant, he likes to dance; he doesnt drink very often, but when there is a party, at the closing of a reunion of the General Command, a conference or a political-military course, he becomes content, has his drinks and dances Tirofijo. Sueños y montañas ».
