By Juan Basso. in August 2001 was published in the newspaper The Link, for the first time, the story of Grace Borda, the niece of the most repressive dictatorship in Rosario, Agustin Feced late-*-. Monday Graciela testified at trial in which the judge a part of the gang that operated in the Information Services where she, a colleague and her husband were taken illegally, and he lost a pregnancy.
The July 1, 2001, road to Rosario CHILDREN escrache that made that day to John Daniel Amelong-repressor today sentenced to life imprisonment for crimes committed during the repression of the Fifth Circuit de Funes ", this columnist passed by a kiosk with some flyers that called for this activity. Pamphlets fired a brief discussion among the audience. "You have to do shit in this motherfucker," a very well-dressed gentleman then went home to spend a Saturday with your family. Then the woman who tended the booth came over and said quietly: "I was detained at police headquarters and asked me my uncle, Augustine Feced." Hence I suggested just another day for me to retell the story. I said hello, I paid my "Sanguchito" and walked toward the mobile escrache.
A journey. Margarita Calvo Feced and Catalan was a young teacher who lived with his younger brother, Blas. His father had when boys died and the rest of the family sailed to Argentina to try his luck, like millions of Europeans who came to these payments the early years of last century. Margarita practically raised her brother, was "awesome, by Blas she also became a teacher. In 1910 the boat up the country Principesa Mafalda bringing in her womb the two brothers who had been in Barcelona.
"Uncle Blas settled in Bell, was a shot into the air behind the desk told a kiosk used to have several years ago, Grace Borda, became principal and was a member of the Communist Party. Had two sons, Raul and Augustine. My grandmother went to work as a rural teacher in the middle of two trips to San Cristobal, died at the age of 103 in '79. "
A friend of Che. Dr. Martin Augustine Borda was a little-known orthopedic surgeon in the country but very prestigious overseas. He himself was amputated the mother's surname when his cousin took over as head Augustine Police Rosario. It is one of the sons of Margaret and father Feced Graciela.
Dr. Borda, studied medicine in School of Litoral in Rosario todavçia habçia not been founded Nacinal University of Rosario (UNR) -. At that time he met and became friends with Ernesto Guevara Lynch. Like his uncle was a member of the Communist Party and in 1960, after a conference in the United States, crossed to the Caribbean island to "know that revolution" of which both are beginning to talk. There he was reunited with his friend, and known worldwide as the "Comandante Che Guevara." Graciela
proudly says that his father's interview with the guerrilla, "Che said, 'We need doctors, if you want to come pay you a ticket to you and your family and you do a two years'." Borda
The family lived in Santiago de Cuba from January 1962 to April 1964. "I was fourteen," recalls Graciela, and that experience influenced me to values \u200b\u200band ideas such as solidarity, the notion that life, if you are in a selfish, thinking only of you, better not live. "
"The only way to not get killed is to get caught at home." These are the words he used the niece of the commander in those days of 1977 to convince her friend Mercedes is hidden at home. Maria de las Mercedes Sanfilippo was a member of the organization Montoneros. The military had killed her husband Victor Bie, and she was in serious danger. He lived with a fellow militant and one day, that did not sign the house-key life in hiding meant everything and take up pique-Mercedes for the Grace cracked. The two friends thought that since Grace was the niece of the chief of police in Rosario would be encouraged not to like at home.
the morning of August 19, 1977 a Task Force went into the house where Grace lived with her husband Silvio Paganini, on the second floor of Rock 1339. Mercedes kidnapped and Silvio. His five year old son, who saw how his father had taped in the middle of the mess, was left with neighbors.
Graciela was in office when a colleague from work who seek it tells you about types of information. "The commander wants to talk to you," says one. "Ah, my uncle ... You do not know what he wants, "said Graciela clever and quick left thoughtful Feced's henchmen at the news that the relationship did not dare to touch even a hair. "In the car I acted naturally, acting as if the monkeys knew to always think: either this is a boluda or not walk at all. I also wanted to see them face to denounce it in the future. "
"Yes, Commander is the cousin of my old, studied together," Grace continued to cling to the strategy of innocence.
Five days in hell. When they arrived at the service of information blindfolded him, took a few laps, down a ladder, put their hands behind him, put it against a wall and began the questions: "What are human rights?:" I think some of the constitution ', "answered Grace. Boluda Do not play, "he told the guys that did not yet know how far they had to come with this mine who claimed to be the niece of Commander. "Who is Eric?" Inquired. "What do I know," he said as he thought what they were doing with her husband and her friend.
When questioned, overheard a Mercedes which was being tortured very close to it. "They have nothing to do, leave them alone," said screams her friend, referring to her and her husband Silvio. Graciela
was two months pregnant, did not know it because it was awaiting the outcome of the study, but it was almost certain. The second day of confinement suffered losses because of nerves. Once outside, he learned that the analysis had tested positive. Graciela
stop for several hours in the same place where she had been interrogated until he began to shout: "I will lose my pregnancy." After a while he brought a chair. "Look how they were with me from this analysis, which have until grass told me the ring and save you in the wallet. As my uncle had not come not dare to do nothing. "
was taken to another room where there were more people. Cristina Bernal was bruised leg. "There I meet my husband asks me what I did?, And I will say in his ear, shut up I'm doing theater," says Grace. Then they brought it to Mercedes full of shock, bleeding, with prod marks. Later
turned and went in for questioning again. Now he was Feced that performed several questions. "But if you went uncle of the Communist Party with Dad," Grace said before a few of his men because they had understood it. (According to the three cousins \u200b\u200bwere Graciela members when they were students).
"I'm not your uncle," said Feced, and stuck a "Smite the head" response.
"As I was going to mess with this mine, do not you know that ...
"But uncle," she interrupted.
"I'm not your uncle ... topped the commander.
After that day, were two-Graciela and Silvio "on the top until the legalized and went to the basement.
"In the basement there were more people now do not remember," remembers Grace. There was a girl of three years, Mercedes told me that his mother told him Bety and had been killed. In the group of my husband was the Chicken Baraballe and mine was his wife. "
When left alone, Graciela cared for his friend who was very hurt. But when there was someone in leadership, they made plays, they fought as if Mercedes were to blame that they were kidnapped. "Mercedes said to me you have to go out and you gave me information to colleagues who were outside."
A holy office. When Paganini marriage was about to leave leadership, "a man very correct" the kindly invited Graciela was still bandaged, to "better forget everything that had happened, that if not comment on anything, if he remained silent, not going to pass anything. " Graciela
said, "You're the only one who treated me well I'd like to meet", and then the man uncovered in sight. Years later found that same face printed in a newspaper that gave the news that the priest Monsignor Eugenio Zitelli was appointed by the Vatican. "This was the son of a bitch," said Graciela.
individual life memories can sometimes be a small sample of historical DNA. The fate of one family, one generation, a people, nation, or all these nuclei together, they get into each other like Russian Mamushkas. The personal stories of ordinary people, often neglected by historians, are often the refuge of the ground realities, such as in our Argentina, have become clogged with sediment dumped by years of neglect who tried to stop the rivers of collective truths emerge and find its destination.
would finish the article published in The Link and suffered through those turbulent days of 2001. Ten years after that first time in The Link is told the story of Grace, and more foolish than it can be to distinguish two different historical moments, there are many who pretends that everything remains the same since 2001 - we say that something has changed. Among other things, these memories are now fulfilling a historic mission with great courage are pursuing the survivors, each providing testimony in court.
* The story of the man. About the death of Feced serious doubts exist, the official day of the death of the incident commander is the 21th July 1986. The alleged death closed the case that bears his name and pointing to the military leaders, political and economic dictatorship in Rosario. There were rumors that he had been seen alive in Paraguay after that date. Paganini
Grace Borda, like many of his family, he always had doubts on the death of Feced. "If you die of heart, why you watched over closed box? He asks. Also do not tell anybody the rest of the family.
