To remember the silence, to resist forgetting. 20 years after the paramilitary massacre in Monteloro

Silence. Neglect. Loneliness. All the words that flow and do not flow are pierced by pain and rage. On the road to Monteloro, Barbosa (Antioquia), on the evening of June 27, 1998, a group of paramilitaries assassinated six people with abusive confidence. Destructive cruelty. Two decades later there is no justice in a path full of absences. Of pains that gnaw. Of never saying. And of never be listened to.
