por su pueblo

Question

If I wanted to say, "for his people", would I say por su pueblo or por su gente?

Is this an area thing? Maybe Mexico is pueblo and South America is gente?

Answer 1

For me, it sounds more natural to say "Por el pueblo," or "Por su patria."

And as mediterrunio has mentioned "su gente" would normally be used for a group of people close to you or family.

Answer 2

it´s the same thing if by su gente you mean general population. because sometimes su gente means only his family
