Caruso shared his memories of those years and highlighted the seriousness and responsibility of Arigón, whom he described as a kind and committed man. “It was an impressive responsibility,” he said.
Lile also reflected on the commitment and struggle that characterized his generation. «Every time, notice that my husband was killed. The dictatorship killed him. And we were committed to that,” he said, pointing out the determination of those who “fought and fought for what they thought, regardless of giving up their lives for it.” Caruso recalled his years of activism in the UJC and how the youth of that time were willing to give everything for their ideals, saying: «Maybe it was too much. But those young women had dreams.
In his statements before the press present at the scene, Lile Caruso also evoked emblematic moments in the history of resistance in Uruguay, such as when he was present during the visit of Che Guevara and in the demonstrations after the murder of Arbelio Ramírez. «We live things. Young people that we live, that now the young people of today, luckily, do not have to live those things,” he reflected.
