And thirdly, [we have] to defeat the absurd pantheist ideologies that believe that the walls are gods and the air is a god. In the end, to return to such primitive forms of religiosity where one is told, "don't touch this hill because it is an Apu and is filled with millennia-old spirit,” and who knows what else. Well, if we reach that point, we wouldn't do anything, much less mining. Don't touch those fish because they are creatures of god and expressions of the god Poseidon. We would return to this, let's say, primitive animism. Right? I think that we need more education [of these people], but that is long-term work that just can't be fixed right away. (Alan García)
