Four years after the shooting of teammate Carlos Fuentealba
On 4 April 2007 the television cameras showed us once again to teachers struggling Neuquén their right to a better salary. His claim had been almost a month, and though their voices sounded louder and louder, the governor refused to listen. That April 4 saw the image teacher trying to cut a path and police firing at close range against them.
Minutes after the image became more distressing, when protesters were removed from the site, some on foot and by car, and one of the grenades thrown by police Dario Poblete ended the life of Master Carlos Fuentealba.
From that moment on April 4 ceased to be teachers for a later date to write on the blackboard. That day became a day we remember with deep sorrow for the murder of our colleague, a worker who defended public schools and believed in the value of collective struggle.
Since then, Carlos Fuentealba was no longer in the two schools where he worked, to be present in each and every one of the nation's schools, in all places where the transmission of culture is intended as a tool to transform this unjustly unequal world.
built in the memory task that teachers give us every day, this date finds us in the classroom telling the story of a man who once was master mason and then, a man who dreamed of a better future for their daughters and students, and joining other men and women to make that dream possible. But we are repeating over and over again that we want justice, not reaches us that the shooter is in jail, we demand that Jorge Sobisch, the governor at that time gave the order to shoot, get his deserved sentence.
Today, as this April 4, still standing up to his crime does not go unpunished.
Today, as this April 4, our best tribute is to continue with their struggle, because we are convinced that every worker who is organizing to defend their rights, each teacher who is committed to the education of their people, Carlos Fuentealba is present. Rosario AMSAFE
