At the beginning of the note in “No Te Duermas”, the victim of Trelew who lost his daughter and his house in an accident, Fabricio Ochoa, told the beginning of the event: “At dawn a fire broke out in my house with a short circuit we believe, which is a bit what the expert says, in which my son Tiziano was taken down when he began to see the smoke. We had a house with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, dining room and my mother was taking care of my other children.”
In the interview, Ochoa said: “The mattresses started to burn quickly, everything upstairs, the two rooms between the wooden floors and then unfortunately what happened happened, everything caught fire. They couldn’t do much, the firemen arrived late because the police called to tell them there was a fire.”
“My nine-year-old son Luan hugs me, tells me that Zoe was going down the stairs and turns to look for the dogs we had, a chihuahua. Unfortunately we lost our daughter in an act of love. One could ironically say that she didn’t save him, but I think she did, she is in a better place with her and the truth is that it was the only way I found comfort in that. To think that my daughter didn’t measure the consequences, she only acted on impulse, out of love. For many, animals are nothing, for her it was her life,” he confessed.
In development with the above, the interviewee reviewed that “they didn’t know where to stay and a neighbor of theirs offered them lodging in his house.” In addition, her neighbors told her that her son Tiziano “was a hero for saving his grandmother.”
Eight months without assistance
Ochoa said that the Trelew minister, Elba Willhuber, activated aid in an agreement with the city council and it had to be signed by Mayor Gerardo Merino, but “it was carried out by Social Action.”
“The agreement said that they had 30 to 60 days to buy all the materials and, in these eight months that have passed since our tragedy, we only have the bases. We had to, two weeks ago, go out in other media that thanks to the people who have shared it we have managed to get some bricks brought. The issue is that we continue to live on borrowed time, invading their houses, we do not have financial help from Social Action,” she said.
Ochoa contacted the mayor of Trelew about the situation they were in: “Mayor Merino only tells me that it is bureaucracy, that it takes time and that they are not helping. I reply that it is not just material things, it is assistance.”
“The damage has already been done to my children, unfortunately, I have to seek psychological help elsewhere, only the families and friends who come to take them or bring them a little gift, that is the only support, that of the people,” she acknowledged and added: “Currently I am in the room of the neighbor, of Juan. The truth is that she has had more heart than all these people from Social Action. She is a professional psychologist, president of an institute of psychologists, but the truth is that her profession did not appear with my children.”
Likewise, Ochoa emphasized: “The rights of my children were never there. And what we are urgently asking for is the house. That this issue be addressed. Unfortunately we are not the only ones, there are many families. Having lost a daughter and having lost our entire house, if we are not a priority, what are we?” Fighting for a family
The interviewee was asked if he was currently working, to which he replied: “I don’t have a job because I’m after it, because I’m after my family, my wife who cries every two days or sometimes more and the only consolation is to take her to the cemetery for a while or to walk. Sadness affects us all the time, absence is difficult. My daughter, thank God, doesn’t let go of our hand, personally, as a father. My daughter left, but she came to be with me every day.”
“I had a dream about her. She was hugging Jesus, my father and all the family I have lost were at a table. Everyone was eating and enjoying themselves as a family as I used to remember when I was a child. At one point her words were: ‘Fight, dad, fight for my brothers, for the family. ’ And that’s what I started to do,” he said.
After recalling the dream she had with her daughter, Ochoa said: “I started to unmask these people, because for me all these people who have a degree in charge of Social Action, of children’s rights, of adolescence, are small businesses, just to collect a salary and not give you a solution. My purpose is going to be to unmask this deception that they are.”
“There are many large media outlets here that made the report about me, but they never aired it. They aired reports from the mayor, but not mine. So, power prevails over the needs of the people unfortunately here and I am grateful.”
