"The march of the stones was, among other things, a giant wake."
This is how the
Telenoche
journalist
,
Daniel Malnatti
,
portrayed
what he felt during the demonstration in which thousands of people paid tribute to the coronavirus victims by writing the names of their relatives
on rocks of different sizes and colors
.
But it was a cover that struck me personally.
Among the memories of more than 110 thousand victims, the chronicler put his own.
For
his father, who died of covid
.
And now he told his story.
"Teresa, 10-03-20,
I couldn't fire you
."
"Carlos Messina, 05-12-2021, we couldn't fire you."
"For preventable deaths, General Roca, Río Negro."
"Aunt Angela."
"Juan Alberto Rosental, 10-07-2020,
died alone without me
, I do not forgive them."
Those were some of the messages that could be read in an atmosphere of absolute respect and dismay.
Until then, it was the mobile of the ElTrece newscast, who in the middle of his coverage also
left his stone
that had
the name of his father
written
"Omar"
, one of the thousands of victims during the pandemic.

“This is
the most beautiful pebble
I found, says
Omar
, my dad's name.
He was a good person.
He always laughed, nothing to do with me.
Last week it was a year since his death,
”he said excitedly during his report for Telenoche.
The journalist described the anguish suffered by those who could not accompany their loved ones.
"I always think, and many times I dream,
if my father thought that we had abandoned him
because no one could ever explain what had happened," he said.
And he added: "He died alone
."
"A giant wake"
Hours after the note was published on television, Malnatti told the reason that led him to portray his personal story.
In dialogue with the radio station
La Once Diez, he
said that he
did not intend to participate
in the march, but when the channel called him "
my world fell apart
."
"There is a lot of
frustration and anger
with the subject, what happened to me is that when I began to see the people who arrived,
they were already crying
, it was a
moment that no one had had
, of being in that trance, of not having been able to dismiss their family members. It was like
a giant wake
, "he said.
Regarding the coverage of the demonstration, Malnatti said that he felt that the situation overcame him: “It exceeded
me
,
I felt overwhelmed
by what was happening to me, I felt very sad, I had never felt sad, with all the latter that It happened to
me, I felt the victim of a lie
, it could have been very different for many people ”.
The journalist said that he has six siblings and that
none of them could get close to his father
once he was infected with the coronavirus: "He was a good man, a good father, a good husband. He
was optimistic
. He always walked with a smile despite the difficulties he faced. He presented life to him, which was not a few.
Nobody deserves to go alone
, and he least of all. "
In a text that he also wrote for the
TN
page
, Malnatti once again expressed his pain and reiterated his anger: "After everything that happened, I can say that the fault
is not the quarantine
, it is not the medicine, it is not scientists, is no vaccine or no vaccine, no political party or fans,
it's no Fabiola
and even pandemic.
blame it on the lie
and letting us take meekly for her " .
