...How your communities, your countries, are really under threat from, you know, the deterioration in democracy—and this deterioration in democracy that you face—and the rise of hatred, the rise of racism. This is a result of the lack of commitment from your leaders to the sustainable development agenda.

This is because they lack implementation, lack, you know, as I said, you know, implementation of their commitment toward your society and toward the world. So what we know, when Trump, for example, announced that he would invade Greenland, for example, this was a very big threat, and all Europe screamed because of it. What happened? What are you doing, Mr. Trump? What? And this is because there is a collapse of the international order, and that’s what we saw, for example, in Arab countries when the occupation was happening every day by Israel against Palestinians. And the same thing we saw in the dictatorial regimes—the dictatorial regime who killed their people every day—and there is no real response from the international community, especially from the democratic countries.

So what can the international community do? Let’s talk about the democratic countries. No, let’s ignore the authoritarian regimes. The democratic countries now have to gather themselves to save the global order, to reform the global order from double standards, and to reform it to fulfill its commitment to the world.

And what’s happening now, as I always say, is that globalization unfortunately gives the rich countries all the benefits and leaves behind all the poor countries. This includes democracy, economics, and even the environment itself.

So we need now new leaders new leaders to take the plan of saving the world. 

We need new leaders—or even for current leaders to wake up—to fulfill their commitment to saving the world from the collapse of the global order. Or else, new leaders from you, young people, have to rise and stop the current policies of the governments of the world.)

So we need new world leaders to reform the global order to save the humanity from the double standards and the UN itself needs a lot of reforms. We need new government, global government that will make binding procedures to the government to fulfill their commitment on development, on justice, on peace, on human rights and on environment.

Otherwise those dictators, dictatorship camps will gather. They are gathering themselves now more and more but they will gather themselves again and more and more and they will collapse everything. They will hijack everything. 
And that will not only be against us, as people living in poor countries or in countries suffering from authoritarian regimes. Even democratic countries — or countries that claim to be democracies, or superpowers — will suffer the same as others if they do not wake up now as a people, as NGOs, and as governments.
We shouldn’t let Vladimir Putin, for example, or Netanyahu, for example, or Trump, for example, or these super rich companies, big companies, and people that own — you know, that own all this, you know, billions — destroy our country, our climate, the economy, and peace itself. This is number one.

Number two, you have to prepare yourself to be the leader. You have to prepare your because there is no good leaders in this current in the world. We need a new leaders that will free the world from this greed, from this madness. And I sure I'm sure that the new leaders will do a great work. So we need you as leaders, and everyone saying: “I am the leader, I will be the leader, I will be the one who leads the country.

And last thing I want to say about the private sector that is very important and you have to be not just the leader of the for the you have to be the leader of everywhere every field every field you have to involve in the public life you have to be leader of NGOs of media of companies of political parties parliament etc etc but here I will end with something very important about the social commitment of the private sector.

That is very important, and you will need to talk about how there is a deterioration in the commitment to supporting development, fighting poverty, supporting health, and so on.

Now there is, you know, a retreat from the commitment made three years ago — the commitment of compassion, of helping poor people and poor countries, of fighting poverty, and of supporting health and education.

There is, you know, a will from countries — they retreat from their commitments. Not just that they didn’t do what they should do, they did: they retreated from their commitments. For example, the United States retreated from 60 international institutions, starting with the Paris Agreement on climate. They retreated from the Human Rights Council, and they retreated from many other agreements.

And at the same time, they retreated from 5,500 development programs helping people with aid, because there was a great cut in aid. I encourage the private sector to increase their help to people, to support the social commitment like what now what we see with the foundation Librecara.

So it’s 150 years of social commitment. I encourage you to do more, to do more to help people. This is your social commitment, you know, social commitment to serve the world: poverty, helping education, helping human rights. If the government retreats, companies should be there. You shouldn’t be just there in the companies to take profits or spread corruption. You need to support people, you know, and you need to help, you know, people in saving the world. Thank you.

Optimistic for the future. I’m so optimistic because I said for the young people, and I’m so optimistic because now I am in Spain. And thank you very much — muchas gracias — to Spain.

Spain is playing a very good role for justice, and justice is very important. To Spain as government, Spain as parliament, Spain as NGOs, media, and people — muchas gracias — because you are the ones who break the fears of injustice around the world, especially in these days of genocide and wars. So your loud voices as a country give me very big optimism, in addition to the role of the…

Thank you, Spain, really. And this is a message from people in our countries and the world: truly, thank you, and keep brave. We need this — brave leadership, brave people, and brave companies.

For me, as I said, peace is not “be calm.” They said — especially after I won the Nobel Peace Prize — that peace means you have to be a very wise woman, speaking very slowly, giving lectures from the high mountain, ha ha ha and not speaking about injustice. Don’t put your finger in front of dictators. No — this is not peace. Peace for me is continuing the fight for justice, continuing the fight against wars, against corruption, against oppression, injustice, for equality, freedom, democracy, environmental justice, and economic justice. This is peace for me.

So this is the definition. For me, it doesn’t change as a definition. This is the peace that I have fought for since day one, when I raised my voice for freedom and democracy. At the same time, it is the same peace that I am struggling for now. Before, it was against one dictator in my country; now it is against dictators around the world. So I am working to guarantee peace everywhere, in every field, against every dictator around the world. And I have a lot of people who share with me the same passion, and together we are the nightmare of dictators. This is peace. A world without dictatorship — this is peace.”

Values… freedom, democracy, equality, justice, accountability. I can gather all those things in one simple word that everyone can know, which is compassion. Compassion means feeling for people around the world — people who suffer from injustice, from dictatorship, from poverty, from ignorance. It is compassion, a feeling that we belong to one humanity, and that we have to help each other. We have to love each other.
We have to face all kinds of racism, of violence, of hatred, of supporting dictators, of supporting corruption, etc. etc. So this is compassion. It’s compassion: being with people, helping people, helping families — and with many assets in the economic, in the social, in politics, in the environment, and now in the digital sphere.
