18:50

18:58
Sergio, it's a pleasure to have you here with us, so let's know how you're doing with what
19:04
continue for you and for Mexico for your foundations talk to us good morning everyone
19:12
Thanks for the interview Adolfo, a great friend of many years, congratulates me on this interview. And yes, there was
19:20
what issues that society is very important today to make them aware from the point of view of nature what is the
19:28
environment with regard to the management of oil that has worried me a lot about the oil transformation but since
19:34
the environmental point of view or not more of production but also environmentalist and on the other hand he has been a fighter
19:41
social since I was 26 years old we have worked a lot in the rescue of the water of Chapala I am from Guadalajara and there I grew up and for
19:49
therefore I have been a fighter in that area rescuing my Huichol brothers, which is a part that also
19:55
I dedicated seven years to that. So we have given life a good time in what
20:01
which is social work and you were also one of the first who began to deal with the issue of garbage in addition to
20:08
I know this issue that identifies us with support for native peoples, but tell us about those origins of
20:15
How did you start to get involved with the environment on one occasion? In those days I used all the hunting
20:23
I was hunting and I was there hunting and accidentally the part came out
20:28
where the city garbage was and I stepped on a piece of garbage that buried me
20:34
needle that infected my foot and it took six months for it to heal So I thought
20:39
If that was with a single footstep, what happens to everything that is there around what is there and that is where it already closes the
20:46
He thought we should do something with this garbage. I was 26 years old at the time.
20:52
and with another cousin, Fidel Costón, today together we begin to work on processing the
20:57
garbage at that time we made processes of transformation to wood eh we compressed the garbage and we did it
21:04
wood and we were taking it to public works from there in Guadalajara to the surroundings we did about three years of
21:11
estudio We were crazy at that time everyone talked about garbage today it is very common to talk about
21:18
transformation of garbage but In those years I am already talking about the 88 90s Well, not yet, do not see it that way
21:27
like such a strong impact. Well, based on that accident, I dedicated more or less four five years to the transformation of
21:34
the garbage and he hasn't released it, eh, I'm still working on it, yes. Besides, I think that in those days the lake still had water
21:40
Chapala No, it was still quite nourished because it reduced the volume a lot.
21:46
In those days it was like a sea, eh, it had its waves and they beat on the
21:51
restaurants passed over the inclusive of the pier and
21:57
With time it dried up, it withdrew until it became a desert. There were no four-wheelers there and they made
22:05
contests of that I also went to eat with the illusion of being on the shore of the Lake and my
22:12
The distribution was that I went to eat in a frozen desert in Chapala. It was not far away, just the mirror of water.
22:19
So there again with my friend, my cousin Fidel and two other friends, we founded the association called
22:26
let's rescue the water of Chapala we were the first that all this helped you to later arrive as a union leader in
22:34
Mexican oils and bring all these experiences, all these environmental experiences.
22:39
not through the union as it happened What happened [Music]
22:45
certain relatives told me about oil workers who had some daughters for some
22:51
infections and my cousin is a medical researcher in this molecular medicine and I warned him about
22:59
that, well, hairs and we realized that precisely the oil that is spilled in Las
23:07
Lagoons and then later pass the consolations I bring them through a well in your house and you use it for use
23:14
Domestic Well, that's what they were detecting, so I began to have contact with our brothers
23:19
oil tankers, well, around 2000 and there I did venture supporting my brothers
23:25
oil workers that little by little I became an oil worker until 2004-5 when I already became a
23:31
flat full to oil I loved that oil area its transformation
23:36
but above all that involved oil in all our
23:43
environment but also in our daily life practically 80%
23:48
that we load is oil and that's how it is, I say Pemex, Mexican oils, because it's a
23:55
institution really with strength and national and international visibility
24:01
from there so many things transcend, no And how do you see Pemex? How do you see oil?
24:08
Mexicans for the next five years, for me it was sad to see her because I
24:13
I saw how, little by little, they were breaking it, cutting, mutilating, and it gave me a
24:20
very very big sadness that And that pushed me to make a union leader fight
24:25
due to the transformation due to the abuses of the worker who began to
24:31
take away the rights when he was one of the highest paid in the country and then we
24:36
they removed the Mexican Institute of petroleum to have us the lack of certification of the workforce all
24:43
that took us away from being competitive Pemex was the fourth in the world in
24:50
importance of oil both in technology and in its development and
24:55
production I presumed that in the arab emirates
25:00
there were microcracks in the pipeline and while there some Mexicans told him
25:07
join us Help us help us with these microcracks So the Mexicans
25:13
they created a solder a a solder league that came and soldered to God
25:20
the matter was over so they saw that with that Mexican creation they could solve the problem that
25:27
They had years that they could not solve it and today two years ago at Christmas I had a convention of
25:34
the oil consuls of all the emirates they talked to me only
25:40
They said, "Hey, it's that you left us an inheritance there, Mexican welding, and when there is a microcrack and
25:46
He says no and what do we do, you know, see, it was in the Mexican welder and it stayed like that
25:53
So this is a pride of Mexico and yet I will turn to see an industry that was torn to pieces
26:00
we were knew to fight fifteen years of oil struggle until this
26:06
president and began to rescue the industry we can talk a thousand things about de
26:12
a president but the facts There it is today we are an industry that
26:17
we were in 18th place right now we are almost in eleventh finishing Deep pardo we are going to go up almost
26:24
At the sixth we are two points away from reaching the fourth What was done the Ayala industry was rescued
26:32
in Pemex that we need all of us to join in and think precisely what
26:37
that a very large investment is being made to rescue such a strong industry and that gave us the wealth of
26:44
Mexico, the solidity that we have today and that we are going to have for the next ten fifteen years will be given to us by oil
26:49
Unquestionably, they talk about oil contamination, but they are talking about the contamination of some of the
26:55
derivatives are fuels and we know that five eight years we are gradually going to migrate from there
27:03
towards other ways of transporting ourselves that is not fuel, not And look and see
27:10
I tell everyone in two three years it will be expensive to spend on gasoline it will
27:16
The three bridges will be much cheaper because this part, this part that is productive of oil, can be used in other
27:23
We already have resources right now, well, all the oil clothing. So I believe
27:28
that how Sergio Ayala Pemex sees I see that he was rescued
27:34
Now it's up to all Mexicans to consolidate it And that's
27:40
a great responsibility and consolidating it is not only production but also being friendly with the environment and not
27:48
only with the environment I believe that you with your testimony of life and everything you have done throughout your
27:55
Stay In this material terrain, your coexistence with vulnerable populations will not
28:02
because Pemex really crosses the entire length and breadth of the country there is no work
28:08
work everywhere you have to live with different groups not for
28:14
other union leaders your experience I think we hope you continue in Pemex and continue
28:22
improving this institution Because it also gives many benefits you will have to negotiate with many people communities
28:29
characters to get ahead of the institution how do you see yourself as a leader
28:35
only union of Mexican oils but as a sensitive being committed
28:40
with Mexico I see myself as one more participant of many of those who
28:47
are there and listen to me today here in Mexico there are many like me who are looking for
28:52
a real transformation of Mexico And that implies a social commitment and how
28:59
You say it, Adolfo, my commitment is not only with my fellow oil workers but also with my indigenous brothers from the
29:05
which was a part and they consider me as a Huichol brother for the time I lived with them and I also see them with
29:13
a harmony towards us that they have to participate and that the president have. So now the option of being
29:20
Custodians of the Mayan Jungle Custodians of the Precious Woods
29:25
custodians of the education of languages ??and etcetera etcetera I believe that this
29:31
point plus enough look at all those who listen to me Mexico we have seen it that it is
29:37
rich but today With this of the Mayan train with this of rescuing Pemex that has
29:43
discovered like when you find the diamond and you begin to remove the mud and begin to see that it shines and shines
29:50
that is our Mexico That is the Mexico that is flourishing that is emerging but we cannot cut it in one shape
29:58
unconscious we have to think from here from the heart from our spirit and our mind that we must
30:04
do it in an orderly way with our mother earth with our pachamama but we all have to see it
30:10
as brothers and that's where I see myself I see myself as a social fighter from here until I die because that's what
30:16
The more it fills me, the more it fulfills me to be able to transform our Mexico
30:23
and I love it I love it because I see that we are on the same channel you see that
30:28
Diverse Mexico not all that diversity that makes up our country and that
30:33
needs careful attention and and also from the legislative part no So
30:39
we want you seeing you in your career as a human being as a union leader and what
30:45
come because life takes many turns I know you will be very visible Very
30:51
attentive to everything that is convenient for Mexico and our original populations that this work of yours will help me
30:57
love it, well, we hope you return to this your program to this space you want
31:02
say goodbye say something to our audience of course thank you first for the interview thank you for listening to us
31:09
But there is a message that I do want to make clear to fight for a goal an objective you
31:17
takes sooner or later to achieve it, the point is not to stop walking until
31:22
sooner or later you will arrive late or sooner we will arrive and Mexico has already started to walk let's all walk together
31:30
let's walk hand in hand let's make this Mexico a New Mexico and for that
31:36
