In Union, There is Strength

Traduction: Bobby Rejsende, photographer of Denamark son of one diplomacy family of France and United States, actually he lives in Mexico.

After other photographers started following me and I began liking and commenting on their posts, a mutual exchange of likes and compliments emerged, something that is beneficial for both me and the other photographers.

This is the power of association among people; we need to create local, regional, national and international associations to advocate for our interests and growth, as the saying goes: in union, there’ is strength. Let's review what happened to me: when we are divided, we become small, isolated, and separated, but when we are united, we become significant, connected and unified.

My dream is to create photographers' unions, and I want us to be like the Venezuelan Yelitza Rojas, who left her country during times of scarcity, went to another country with hyperinflation - Argentina - and is one of the most professional photographers I know on social media and in photography. What's her secret? She does everything, including advertisements, with all the love for serving through her work, just as the Spanish Catholic Saint Josemaría Escrivá preached.

Instagram: @yeli_photographer, follow her example.

Just as Luís Inácio Lula da Silva became the President of Brazil despite numerous controversies, millions of people still believe in him today, and he returned to the presidency of Brazil. The Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT, “Party of the Workers") has unions for nearly every profession in both the public and private sectors, dominates most professions, has federations and confederations, and uses these tentacles to support Lula's interests. It is the only party with cohesive influence in all states.

The Partido Comunista do Brasil (PCdoB, “Communist Party of Brazil”) has the União Nacional dos Estudantes (UNE, “National Union of Students”), which dictates life in public universities. The Partido Socialismo e Liberdade (PSOL, “Socialism and Liberty Party”) is strong in public universities, and the Partido Socialista dos Trabalhadores Unidos (PSTU, “Socialist Party of United Workers”), which is contra burguês, vote 16 (“against the bourgeoisie, vote 16”) dominates unions in public organizations.

In Argentina, the Partido Justicialista (“Justicialist Party”) created by Juan Domingo Perón has produced other presidents like Carlos Menem, Néstor Kirchner, Cristina de Kirchner, and Alberto Fernández, dominating the state and unions throughout Argentina.

Regardless of your opinion on these parties, they work together and have international partnerships with the Venezuelan regime, which is a direct partner of China, Russia, Cuba, and others. It's an interconnected web that ensures their continued success.

If they can do it, why can't we unite? Let's unite! And I say more: let's follow the example of Yeli Rojas, who treats her followers very well. Let's learn from her; she has so much to teach us!

This article is dedicated to the sweet, dear, and friendly Yelitza Rojas, who also has photographer friends, and I would like to add that the Venezuelans who have appeared on my page are incredibly nice despite the economic crisis.
