Carmen Teresa Navas: For You and Your Son, Justice
There are deaths that are also political assassinations, even if they do not occur within a cell or are registered in a police report. The death of Carmen Teresa Navas belongs to that terrible category. A mother slowly destroyed by the systematic cruelty of a power apparatus that hid her son's fate from her for months, that forced her to desperately search for him while he was already dead, that made her beg for a certificate of life while officials, judges, military personnel, and bureaucrats maintained a monstrous lie.
TL;DR
- Carmen Teresa Navas died ten days after discovering her son, Víctor Hugo Quero Navas, was dead in government custody.
- Navas spent months searching for her son, visiting 21 detention centers and appealing to state agencies, unaware he was already deceased.
- The state apparatus allegedly knew of Quero Navas's death and deliberately misled his mother, prolonging her anguish.
- The article argues this constitutes a political assassination, highlighting the systematic cruelty and moral decay of the current Venezuelan government.
- The author emphasizes the importance of not normalizing such events and calls for historical, moral, and political justice for those responsible.
