—Comrades, the union has joined the conflict. Today we strike.
Things at Casa Soler had been getting complicated. The threats of dismissal against union members unsettled every sector of the company.
Félix gathered his things and headed for the door. The entire weaving section followed him. Once outside, he spotted a woman ready to join the struggle. It was Myriam García. He couldn't hide his joy at seeing her.
—And the rest of your section? —Félix asked, his smile still fixed in place.
—I couldn't bring the others… but I'm here. I count.
—You count for a lot, Myriam. That's why I want to take you somewhere else. Don't worry—I'm taking you to a place where politics happens. I want my comrades to meet you, and for you to meet them, and make up your own mind.
