In this context, Crysol reported that in the face of different versions of the press and without anyone having “contacted, informed or given notice”, being the association of all former prisoners and all former political prisoners, they have decided to request an interview with the doctor Álvaro Villar, director of the Hospital de Clínicas to “gather information about the death of Jorge Zabalza” who was an associate of the organization.
“All of us are going to die. For almost two decades we have ensured a decent old age for our group. Regardless of the political position of the government, we will strive to maintain and overcome the gains made and that health care ensure the best technical and human capacity for the old social and political fighters,” Crysol said in a statement, noting that is and will be at the service of all and all associates.
