(Chile) Words of Gratitude for Each Gesture of Solidarity for our Trial, Aldo and Lucas Hernández

It is the desire to send us affection, the movement of the body that goes on to develop acts of propaganda, action and solidarity that makes us write these lines. We approached that freedom in that fire on July 10 outside the USACH, our names sound in the streets of this city, also on that wall in Montevideo, Uruguay on which anonymous comrades wrote at night, they expressed that ideas will be a real threat, in those solidarity letters of different comrades who experience confinement just like us and send us pushes of conviction for these days of trial, also that oxygen that we breathed on the first day of trial with the rally outside the courts, where comrades, brothers, family went to accompany us and shout loudly our names and those of those who are in the prisons of this State, and who filled the entrance with papers, propaganda vindicating us, even the most filthy gendarme knew that we are not alone.

We are part of that incendiary joy of the youth when the glass breaks and the fuse lights the gas in the police cars on that morning in Providencia outside the José Victorino Lastarria High School, that fire that in the young people is a cry of war, revenge and lifelong experince. Grateful for the real affection of our people, that concern for our lives, compañeros, compañeras, siblings, relatives and loved ones who have never killed us. That genuine love embraces us in these moments. They show it every day in their concern and their desire to steal more than a smile from us in such a defining moment, and they undoubtedly achieve it completely. A hug to those who remember us and seek ways to be with us…

Aldo and Lucas from “La Gonzalina” and “Santiago Uno”.

End of July 2025.
