"Aunque los pasos toquen mil años este sitio,
no borrarán la sangre de los que aquí cayeron".
"Siempre" de Pablo Neruda.
Ya han pasado casi 38 años y todavía tu recuerdo me acompaña. Siempre me hago la misma pregunta: -¿qué será de Neskito?
Su nombre era Elizabeth del Carmen Cabrera Balarriz de 23 años. Asistente social de profesión, Mirista de corazón. Mujer de pelo corto, de color castaño, delgada y sencilla. Casada con Nesko de 24 años; un grandulón de barba tupida que la adoraba… All students met her, because she was the Head of the Department of Welfare of the Universidad del Norte, which together with other social workers, we were welcomed, received and evaluated food for scholarship and other benefits that we needed to survive, but not only met her on that plane, they also coincide, although in different fronts in the movement's activities.
"The Lula", as we call him affectionately, had managed the University of Concepción Award for its promotion. It was an order, method, intelligence. Where there was chaos, with their presence, the peace was imposed, "The Neske, however, was outgoing, bombastic, large booming voice, teatrero par excellence, symbolizing both humanely ying and yang: complement all. At the time I met them, April 1973, and had his young son. And
wore on my college life, between classes, strikes, shots, industrial belts, political conflicts and marches because it was all the excitement of the opposition to the government of Salvador Allende Gossens and so we approached with great strides, per month September, when we were in full takeover of the university. I remember we slept there in shifts, because we were demanding, a group of students of different races, increase the quota of scholarships food and accommodation for some friends who had no home, no pension or financial capacity to sustain it ... and Lula gave the order, which guardian angel, that the casino to continue operating, despite the take, and make themselves four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, tea and food. I remember who were the richest and most compelling meals we had in our entire college life ... until the morning of September 11 .. I have recollection that we were sleeping on top of the casino, next, in offices that had taken and turned into bedrooms. There we had a radio tubes which still worked and lit to tell the time. My sister and I noticed that only listened to military marches. We changed clothes to go to school and that meantime they told us that he had finalized the military coup, he feared, that Allende was surrounded, that had been bombed and burned the money and they were close to college and stop tanks to encircle students and staff left. From that moment began the rout ... we all, with heart in hand, picking up our belongings and Staying within the homes of relatives or friends to arrive before curfew, which had been set up at two in the afternoon ... all was to survive, walking in hiding, fearing even the shadow and not knowing anything or anyone ... the famous sides began with lists of people, which the ruling regime, they were dangerous criminals, subversives, traitors. Antofagasta was transformed into a place of accusations, no one trusted anyone. After the curfew began the raids at various houses, and ours, where we had over 11 students was no exception. One night in mid September, broke, kicked open the door, checking and turning around under the pretext of weapons that were supposed saved. After various deductions, in other instances, they left us, tortured, and live in relative peace ... but not the same thing happened with Lula and Neske. We hear on the radio, with the ubiquitous military side, the September 15, 1973, on the road between Antofagasta and Cerro Moreno Air Base "the vehicle where they were transported Balarriz Elizabeth del Carmen Cabrera, 23, Social Worker, Head Welfare Department of the Universidad del Norte, a member of the Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR), Nenad Teodorovic Sertic Neske, 24, an Austrian, a student at Northern University, a member of the Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR) and Luis Muñoz Bravo , 28, a student at the Universidad del Norte, a member of the Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR). ... Suffered an electrical failure, a situation that took these extremists ... covered by the shadow of the night ... to try to escape, forcing the soldiers to shoot. " .. Simply put, they had murdered in cold blood, with her husband and another partner, because they were completely helpless, as noted later, the report Retigg.
After much investigating, I learned that some friends, the closest, rescued his body from the morgue ... found strong traces of torture on his body and found in his left hand, tightly closed, a chain with his cross: Lula was 4 months pregnant ... I try to imagine, to no avail as I roll with plenty of tears - what he thought of those moments? I think that, by his nature, his last thought was dedicated to his little Neske, praying for their integrity (that is evident from his hand, holding a small crucifix), which left her with Luisa visionary, a neighbor of confidence to go to buy some items at the supermarket with his constant companion and lover. Attached to the end: to torture, even death ... till eternity ...
