: Among the several great suggestions, I finally Agree on 'mingle'. I was also sorely tempted by 'blend' as Psicutrinius notes in the Discussion. Regards to All, and Happy Holidays!

Thanks Gilla. I think the speaker, a politician, was not intending to be too literal about getting close to the masses :(

1. tr. Mezclar, fundir cosas diversas, de manera que no puedan reconocerse o distinguirse.

I would say that this idea is better conveyed by "blend" (to blend with), but I really get lost at the finer nuances of "mingle" and "intermingle" (which I do not discard, least of all when natives use this and / or agree with it).
Btw: This is Eva Perón in one of her speeches, isn't it?
