"Hay otros que mueren de manera cobarde": UDI exige disculpas a Boric con familia de militar (r) condenado por crimen de Víctor Jara

So, I came across this crazy article titled “Hay otros que mueren de manera cobarde”: UDI exige disculpas a Boric con familia de militar (r) condenado por crimen de Víctor Jara. It immediately caught my attention because it involves the demand for an apology by UDI, a political party in Chile, to Gabriel Boric, a prominent figure in Chilean politics.

Basically, UDI is demanding an apology from Boric to the family of a retired military officer who was convicted for the murder of a famous Chilean folk singer, Víctor Jara. Now, I don’t know about you, but demanding an apology from someone for something they didn’t do sounds a bit ridiculous to me!

In the article, UDI claims that Boric made false statements about the military officer’s involvement in the crime and is now calling for him to apologize to the deceased officer’s family. It seems like a desperate attempt to shift blame and protect their own reputation. I mean, come on, shouldn’t they be more concerned about finding justice for Víctor Jara instead?

For those who might not be familiar with the case, Víctor Jara was a hugely influential musician and activist during the time of Chile’s military dictatorship under Pinochet. He was arrested, tortured, and finally killed in 1973 for his outspoken opposition to the regime. His death has been a symbol of the brutal repression that took place during that dark period in Chilean history.

Demanding an apology from Boric just seems like an attempt to deflect attention from the military officer’s actions and divert the conversation away from justice for Víctor Jara. It’s like they’re trying to sweep the past under the rug, and that’s just not right.

In conclusion, this article highlights the ongoing struggle for justice and accountability in Chile. It’s important to remember and honor the victims of the dictatorship, like Víctor Jara, and to continue fighting for truth and justice. Let’s hope that the demand for apologies doesn’t distract from the real issues at hand.
