The last time that Susana Freydoz (69) dressed and made up with care and elegance for a party was the night of December 31, 2011. It is the same day, with the New Year already underway, the woman would end up shooting her husband , Carlos Soria (62), new governor of Río Negro.
Freydoz is the mother of the national deputy Martín Soria (45), one of the candidates who sounds to become the new Minister of Justice of the Nation promoted by Cristina Kirchner.
The story of obsessive jealousy, the years of mutual harassment, the fury of their arguments with threats of murder and suicide, are part of the story so often told.
10 years after that dinner with a fatal outcome, Freydoz remains today at the home of a cousin in Neuquén, under
house arrest and an electronic ankle brace.
She is not even remotely the woman she once was,
those who have seen her
tell
Clarín
.
Freydoz was always concerned about her appearance.
A lover of expensive creams, of taking care of her hair, she also devoted time to physical exercise.
That lost importance.
Other times.

At first, for the family and his best friends, it was a dramatic disappointment to understand that, at some point,
Freydoz had not become aware of what had happened
.
That she had killed her husband with a 38, that she had been sentenced to 18 years in prison, that she would no longer walk through the Canalito de General Roca, that she would not walk through the fruit trees of her luxurious farm in Guerrico, in which Soria was struck down on a bed, that would stop seeing his grandchildren whenever he wanted.
And, finally, that her husband would not be governor nor would she be the First Lady, fulfilling in a tortuous way her husband's wish not to take her to Viedma to
live with another much younger woman
.
Something in his mind had stopped.
This explains that when she was taken in early 2012 to the psychiatric ward of the Cipolletti hospital, she still complained about the lack of care and the lack of training machines.
The nurses did not have her among their favorite patients.
Still today Freydoz does not mention "the baton" in front of his children or the members of the Justice who are going to interview her.
Because she tells him like that, "la macana".
As if the murder had fallen from the sky.

Judicial officials and acquaintances comment to this newspaper that Freydoz, when referring to the murder of her husband, babbled words such as "it was the moment", "the moment", "it passed very quickly", far from being able to elaborate a more coherent explanation.
"Today, with the gender perspective present, Freydoz would have received a much lesser sentence
,
"
says a judicial authority.
His condition is currently rated "bad and getting worse."
Take four types of medications among antidepressants, antipsychotics and pain relievers.
"I don't think he's pretending to be wrong to get a home address.
He's been wrong for years.
His first suicide attempt was a serious, serious suicide attempt, he took all the pills in the wrong way to die. Since then he has gone back, but today she is not well. She lives heavily medicated and, when she is not,
falls into dangerous depressive pools
", acknowledges a judicial source close to the case.
During her prison period, the judicial officials who were going to control her often discovered her with wild hair, lost eyes and unkempt clothes.
Unable to speak
In the last stage in the Federal Prison of Ezeiza he studied Sociology subjects in a UBA program and learned handicraft techniques.
But the fall into dark places never ceased to be present.
On the night of January 12, 2020, she was transferred from that institution to the home of a cousin in Neuquén capital.
It is a comfortable house although far from the comfort that Freydoz knew how to enjoy when he was the owner and mistress of the Guerrico farm.
That property is uninhabited today.

Once a week, his daughter, María Emilia Soria - mayor of General Roca and a former Peronist national deputy -
brings her children and sometimes those of her brother Martín
.
The national deputy visits her a little less, because he spends time between the Alto Valle and Buenos Aires.
It is also true that Soria once acknowledged that he did not know if he was going to forgive her for what she did.
"I think that taking my children to see them is a way to forgive," said Soria.
"I cannot forgive the loss of my old man, but I can forgive her," he
explained in a rare emotional conjecture.
Although only one suicide attempt was revealed in the Alto Valle in 2012, hours after learning that it would end up in the Río Negro prison system, it is known that Freydoz tried to kill himself three more times.
"He would have killed himself at the same moment he shot if not because his daughter arrived," says a source in the investigation.
"Now me, me," Freydoz was heard shouting, more or less words, while
Maria Emilia took the gun from her and locked her in a bathroom
.

In bed her husband was dying.
He had a small wound on his cheekbone and underneath a red stain that spread over the white fabric.
Curiously, Soria's body looked like that of a person sleeping.
Some drops of water that had remained from his recent dip in the pool were still falling from his skin.
Outside the air was fresh and clean.
The earthy aroma of the nearby desert tends to grow in the early mornings of the Alto Valle.
"She has spent a long time heavily medicated, gone. What keeps her still here is
the illusion of seeing her children and especially her grandchildren
. Her life went with Soria, being governor was not a goal of him but of the two, the two were going to reach the governorship, as a couple, "explains someone who has frequented her.
On April 18 of this year, Freydoz will turn 70.
A new occasion to celebrate a round number.
Perhaps then it will regain a fraction of the momentum that characterized it.
From her smile of the owner of "everything your eyes can see."
Her grandchildren will arrive and with them her children, the witnesses to the sequence that followed the crime, and perhaps she allows herself to be shown wearing makeup and wearing a nice dress.
Despite the shadow of tragedy that covers its existence, not every day reaches seven decades.
