Por tu libertad y la de todos los presos políticos: Feliz Navidad, Carlitos
La Navidad suele ser el tiempo de los abrazos. De las mesas largas. De los ausentes que duelen, pero que al menos podemos nombrar o hablar desde una videollamada. En Venezuela, desde hace años, la Navidad es otra cosa: es el recordatorio brutal de que hay ausencias que no son naturales, que no son destino ni tragedia inevitable, sino decisión política. Secuestro de Estado. Castigo ejemplar.
