Nine years after the tragedy of Once, the relatives of the victims decided not to do the act in person on platform 1 of the station, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, but they released a strong video in which they endorsed the latest court rulings and returned to target Kirchnerist corruption.
The video, almost seven minutes long and published in the official accounts of the relatives, recounts the struggle they have carried out both for the Justice to condemn the guilty, and for the State to help the injured and their families in situations of vulnerability.
After considering that
2020 was a "hinge" year
in judicial matters
, the announcer highlights that last September "the Supreme Court confirmed the convictions of 2015, thus closing a central stage in our struggle."
In this regard, they emphasized: "The step taken by the Supreme Court ended with the outdated idea of political persecution and that of hatred and revenge as the engine of our actions. By leaving the sentences firm, it
closed a cycle
, crowning with justice and truth a long road that took eight years and seven months. "
And they added: "The pain we feel increases and the court decisions are cloths that help us to cope with it."

However, the judicial plane was not the only one addressed in the sequence, throughout a photo tour of the family's struggle, the day of the fatal crash and the convictions of the guilty.
Family members also asked for
"economic reparation"
for those survivors who have not been able to return to their jobs and pointed to the "abandonment" of the State.
"
We will never forget the injured
, who could not return to perform their work as they did until the time of the tragedy. The mental and physical damages are impediments that could never again be remedied by the neglect in which the state plunged them. The emptiness left by the fathers and mothers of families pushed many members of this group into situations of misery that hurt us, "they say.
"We have been ignored in that sense," they claimed, and asked for a response similar to that received by the victims of the ARA San Juan, Cromañón, Río Tercero and the massacres suffered by the Jewish community, among others.
