For you, Elvira
Miguel Sánchez and the 30 thousand disappeared, are present! Listens again between dreams. There are a few days left until the end of the year and it is usual for her to be exhausted. She thinks it's strange that her brother's name has changed from familiar to popular. It's the fight against forgetting, she tells herself. Remember that in a few days it will be 44 years since that fateful day, when a gang took him from his house.
Miguel was a poet, bank worker and long-distance runner, who disappeared during the last military dictatorship in Argentina. She remembers when she gave that trophy to the winner of the Corsa Di Miguel in Rome in 2000, organized by initiative of Valerio Piccioni. And then the images burst forth: La Carrera de Miguel in Buenos Aires, in Bariloche, in San Miguel de Tucumán, right there in the neighborhood, in Villa España, Berazategui. It was also done in Morón, Resistencia (Chaco), Bella Vista (Tucumán), Havana, Barcelona, Ibiza, María Teresa (in the south of Santa Fe province).
Always the crowded start of the races, with the participation of people of all ages; and those gestures, those looks, one by one, unique upon arrival. She imagines the next race and pictures an ovation that makes her smile: Elvira Sánchez ... is present!
