De la noche en que mis padres presenciaron un asesinato (From the night when my parents witnessed a murder)

I.The night of September 7, 1966, inside the Cinerama Gallery, some experimental musicians were rehearsing for the III Córdoba Art Biennale. This biennale was organized by Kaiser industries and sponsored art projects in line with the foreign American policies. II. The night of September 7, 1966, the police forces repressed a massive students’ assembly against the Night of the long batons. A brutal fight took place in the Cordoba downtown area. III. The night of September 7, 1966, my parents were having an ice-cream a few meters from the Cinerama gallery. They heard a riot. They approached, heard gunshots, and saw a body falling in front of the cinemas. Santiago Pampillón was lying on the floor. He was a student and worker at the Kaiser industries. A policeman had shot him three times in cold blood. Five days later, his death sealed the union between the students’ and the workers’ movement, giving place to El Cordobazo rebellion.
