Six years after the brutal murder of Fernando Báez Sosa, his parents, Graciela Sosa and Silvino Báez, led an emotional mass at the Santísimo Redentor parish in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Recoleta this Sunday. Surrounded by family, friends, and citizens who came to offer their support, the ceremony took place amidst a strong emotional climate, reported Noticias Argentinas. Fernando, who was 18 at the time of the attack, was beaten to death outside the Le Brique nightclub in Villa Gesell on January 18, 2020. The case, which shocked the country and marked a turning point in the debate on youth violence and the role of rugby groups, remains an open wound for Argentine society. The mass, held in a packed parish, maintained a climate of profound respect. Graciela Sosa, visibly emotional, closed the event with a brief speech: 'Fernando was a boy with dreams, and they took him away from us. We just ask that you don't forget him.' The tribute concluded with the lighting of candles and the placement of white flowers in memory of the young man.
