Felipe Henriquéz Órdenes, Letter from Chile to President Peña Nieto: "You can't tell a whole nation: Get it over with, move on"
Enrique Peña Nieto
Present
President;
(December 5th, 2014).- Today, going through the international press I found certain unfortunate declarations, asking the Mexican people to get over the pain in #Ayotzinapa. [...]
Mr. President Peña Nieto, in Chile, the examples in the fight for the search of their loved ones are thousands. I'm going to present Victoria Saavedra to you, in this picture, she's looking for her brother José's remains in the desert of Atacama, executed in the Death Caravan in 1973, in the city of Antofagasta.
Please, Mr. President. Take a closer look at this image and make yourself the next question: Would you be able to say to Victoria, looking in her eyes, to forget about her brother?
To mark the covered ground where she has gone through, Victoria has to bury a Chilean flag in the desert with her brother's face so she doesn't have to go through that same spot again. What Victoria has been through is terrible, because aside having to bear the indifference of the chilean justice that protects the assassins of her brother's murder, she also has to carry her pain and the suffering that's sweeping a whole town. Wounds do not heal, they're open and bleeding. [...]
It is banned to forget, so that never again and nowhere else in this world, these horrors will be perpetrated.
