Inmediatamente nosotros nos comunicamos con Alexandre Oliva, él estuvo positivo en compartir sus conocimientos, pero cuando le expresamos que había que utilizar un software privativo, inmediatamente ahí puso un llamado de atención. Y desde ahí comenzó a enseñarnos cómo no debemos depender de este software privativo.

Alexandre no utiliza software privativo, está utilizando un software libre. El sistema lo está interconectando con la plataforma que estamos utilizando. Nos enseña que debemos priorizar la libertad, la autonomía y la soberanía.

--Diputado Luis Coronado
