As the centenary of the crime that cost María Cruz Bello her life in Teseguite is commemorated, Emilio Fernández Batista traveled this Sunday to the place where the events occurred and at the San Leandro Sociocultural Center presented his book 'When Justice Slept', a work based on the crime of the Cruz sisters
According to its author, this work does not intend to distort any truth, nor to cover up or discover any subject or criminal act. Nor is it about blaming anyone who has not already been blamed by the laws, but about bringing a summarized reality of what happened a century ago to a current society very different from that of then and exposing in written and visual form the events that occurred around that horrifying crime.
Family, friends and neighbors of Teseguite supported Emilio Fernández at the San Leandro Sociocultural Center and listened attentively to his stories, during a presentation that was also enlivened with music, performed by Pedro Monje and Juan Manuel González, who were also joined by Araceli Fernández, in charge of putting her voice to the compositions written by Emilio alluding to the story of the Cruz Bello sisters. The act ended with the signing of books by the author.
