El mar no logró borrar las pruebas del delito y devolvió a un puñado de cuerpos que son vivo testimonio del horror. Uno de ellos es el de nuestra compatriota Léonie Duquet.

Símbolo entre los símbolos, lo que la marea depositó sobre las costas del Atlántico Sur son los restos de aquellas Madres que buscaban a sus hijos y de quienes las acompañaron en sus rondas. Entre ellos las religiosas francesas Alice Domon y Léonie Duquet.

La identificación de los restos de Léonie Duquet y de las primeras Madres de Plaza de Mayo reaviva el dolor pasado, pero al mismo tiempo mantiene bien encendida la llama de la búsqueda de la verdad. 30 años después, las víctimas siguen gritando por justicia, por juicio y castigo a los responsables, por Nunca Más.

Desde Francia, los familiares de los 18 conciudadanos víctimas de la dictadura militar de 1976 a 1983 rendimos homenaje a esas Mujeres Coraje que han encontrado sepultura en los jardines de la Iglesia Santa Cruz de Buenos Aires y en su nombre a todos los detenidos-desaparecidos de la Argentina.

Hoy y siempre, nombrando a los 18 franceses secuestrados o muertos en la Argentina, estamos recordando a los 30.000.

Marcel Amiel, Robert Boudet, Jean-Yves Claudet Fernández, Françoise Dauthier de Martínez, Yves Domergue, sor Alice Domon, sor Léonie Duquet, Andrés Roberto Duro, Marie-Anne Erize, Maurice Jeger, Mario Julien Cáceres, padre Gabriel Longueville, Pierre Pegneguy, Juan Roger Peña, Jean Marcel Soler, y los hermanos Marcel, Paul y Raphael Tello.

Vaya nuestro agradecimiento a quienes permiten con su trabajo y dedicación –en el marco de la lucha por la justicia y contra la impunidad– que se reconstruyan historias y se posibilite el duelo: organismos de derechos humanos, autoridades, jueces, abogados, la comunidad de la Santa Cruz y en particular al Equipo Argentino de Antropología Forense por su inestimable contribución a la reconstrucción de la verdad histórica.
