Mother’s Testimony, Fernando Carvallo [COLUMNA]

Listen to the Las cosas cos son podcast channel on RPP Player.

There comes a moment when the news ceases to be abstract information and becomes a personal experience on which all life is focused. The poet Vallejo would say about the moment “in which the hangover of the experience pours in puddles.”

It happened yesterday at PTR when receiving a lady Cynthia Macare, the mother of a young woman killed by fire in the Plaza dos de Mayo Cercado de Lima. Mrs. Machare said that the femicide took away the most beloved thing in her life.

Last night, he wanted to show himself in person so that we could all see the gestures and facial expressions of someone who, along with his 18-year-old daughter, was in danger of losing the desire to get out of bed.
