Synopsis
Una sorprendente crónica periodística que cuenta la verdadera historia de Mario Aburto, el hombre acusado de haber asesinado a Luis Donaldo Colosio.
“Huye, José, huye, José, ven, pacá, cuidao con la culebra…” La canción opaca los gritos desenfrenados de la multitud cuando se escuchan los disparos que marcan un antes y un después en la historia contemporánea de México. Mario Aburto es detenido en Tijuana, lo acusan de asesinar a Luis Donaldo Colosio mientras la incertidumbre se apodera del país. ¿Era el mismo hombre el que aprehendieron en Lomas Taurinas y el que presentaron en Almoloya? ¿Era Mario el asesino?.
Para sus familiares y amigos la interrogante es más profunda y aún les duele: ¿cuál es el verdadero Mario? ¿El que la PGR catalogó como un enfermo psiquiátrico o el hombre aniñado que conocieron antes? A contracorriente de los complots fantasiosos, este libro descubre a un Mario Aburto inédito, pero va mucho más allá, pues ofrece ángulos del caso Colosio que se han pasado por alto durante más de dos décadas.
Mario Aburto is arrested in Tijuana, accused with murdering Luis Donaldo Colosio, while uncertainty takes over the country. Was he the same man they apprehended in Lomas Taurinas and delivered to Almoloya? Was Mario the killer? To his family and friends, the question is more profound and still painful: Who is the real Mario? The man deemed mentally ill by the PGR, or the boyish-like man they once knew? Against the flow of fantasy plots, this book unveils a previously unseen Mario Aburto, but it gives us so much more, since it offers different angles that have been overlooked for more than two decades in Colosio’s case.
The story is told through letters and phone calls made from prison, through legal files and interviews with key figures. Even now, several of them have asked to remain anonymous for fear of being killed, as has happened with members of the security detail and other investigators.
While unmasking the falseness of a state apparatus that haunts, tortures, and murders others, ensuring impunity for a “corrupt group of people that are just there, sucking blood, like vampires”, as Mario Aburto once wrote to his father, this work confirms that the rip of the 23rd of March, 1994, is still relevant to this day, even to those who keep defending the version of the lone assassin as indisputable.
