"As an organization, we reaffirm ourcommitment to work for Lemoa where we all have a place , for coexistence based on respect, mutual recognition, plurality and democratic participation, "they add," to maintain the open and pluralistic character of Lemona, enhancing the community values that unite us as a people. "

"Total rejection."
