The Room of Lucía, a space dedicated to art against femicide violence, was inaugurated in Mar del Plata as part of the Somos Lucía Campaign. This initiative includes activities such as courses, workshops, and seminars to train judicial staff. Lucía's parents, Marta Montero and Guillermo Pérez, responded with surprise and pain to the ruling of the Criminal Cassation Court, which decided to overturn the femicide ruling against Matías Farias, leaving it only framed as sexual abuse.
Guillermo Pérez expressed his outrage, stating that this decision was a way for the State to cover itself. Lucía's family anticipated that they would appeal this ruling, emphasizing that the final decision should be made by the provincial Court. Despite this devastating news, the family decided to inaugurate The Room of Lucía in an event that gathered hundreds of people interested in learning about the issue of violence against women.
Lucía's parents, Marta and Guillermo, showed their determination and commitment in the fight for justice and in remembering their daughter, as well as all women victims of gender violence. Despite the obstacles and impunity, they remain steadfast in their search for truth and justice. Marta Montero pointed out the difficulty of the path to justice and denounced the shortcomings of the judicial system.
The news of the Criminal Cassation Court ruling, which reduced Matías Farias's sentence, was received with outrage and sadness by Lucía's family. This new twist in the case represents another blow for the family, which has had to face numerous injustices in their quest for justice. The opening of The Room of Lucía became an act of resistance and memory, in which Lucía and all victims of femicide were remembered.
Lucía's family reaffirmed their commitment to continue fighting and denouncing impunity in cases of gender violence. Despite the obstacles and injustices, they remain united and determined not to be silent. The inauguration of The Room of Lucía was an act of love and memory in honor of Lucía, who would have turned 25 years old. The fight for justice and truth continues, despite the obstacles and the lack of responses from the justice system.
