Last Sunday, January 26, an intimate ceremony took place where, by family decision, the ashes of Nora Cortiñas were transferred to Plaza de Mayo, fulfilling her wish. Despite the rain throughout the day, when Nora began to speak, a rainbow appeared followed by the sun coming out. This symbolic act reflects the strength and light that Nora represents on the path of many.
In the Thursday gatherings at Plaza de Mayo, Nora's physical absence is felt, but her spirit endures in the memory of those who knew her. Her presence continues to be felt among the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo and those who stood by her in her struggles. In every step taken for justice and truth, one can perceive the energy and commitment that Nora brought.
One of the characteristics that defined Nora was her constant participation and commitment. She was always willing to do what was necessary to ensure that people took to the streets in search of justice and memory. Her motto of 'together, but not mixed' was a call for unity in the diversity of thoughts, an invitation to join the struggles without losing individuality.
Collective memory is nourished by people like Nora, whose legacy continues to live in every march, in every demand for justice, and in every gesture of solidarity. Her figure will endure over time, reminding us of the importance of the constant struggle for a more just and equitable world.
