11/9

I think is important to have an opinion because is something that, in spite of the 42 years that have pass, is until now a topic that for lots of people needs to be talked about.  My family wasn’t involved directly in the problem, with this I mean they didn’t have troubles, or missing friends at that time. My parents were very young at that time, but my grandmother and my grandfather remember lots of things. My grandmother (on my mom side) used to work at the Salvador’s hospital, and she told me she was there when was there when the body of Allende arrived. Nobody said anything and they weren’t allowed to ask questions, so that was what she did. Also Pinochet made nurses take the military service (that have benefits till now for her). However she is not happy with his dictatorship and thinks that he was a murder.

In my personal opinion I think that it doesn’t matter how many years ago it happened, till people who were responsible of all crimes that took place at the time speak, people will always be hurt. And it’s important, as a community to support them and their fights. I put myself in the case of having a missing relative and probably I would do the same things that they do. But I don’t think that violence is the answer to this, or a way to make “them” talk. Is more like a way to express the anger of people who the only thing that want is answers.
