Mercury brings to mind thousands of men and women who lived from it for centuries, hundreds of names and faces, friends with whom I have worked as a Socialist Member of Parliament over the last 30 years, explaining to them, persuading them and supporting them with alternatives in order to overcome the paradox that human progress, which was getting rid of mercury, appeared to be heralding their disappearance.
Evoca en mí el mercurio miles de hombres y mujeres que de él han vivido durante siglos, cientos de caras y de nombres, amigos a los que he acompañado como diputado socialista en los últimos 30 años, explicándoles, convenciéndoles, apoyándoles con alternativas para superar la paradoja de que el progreso de la humanidad, que eliminaba el mercurio, pareciera condenarles a desaparecer.
