El poder de la memoria

Cuando se trabaja con víctimas, sorprende la capacidad que tienen para recordar con excesivo detalle el hecho victimizante que padecieron y todas las diligencias y trabas que han hecho y se han encontrado, a lo largo de los años, para ser reconocidas como tales.

Las víctimas en Colombia cargan sobre sí una doble tragedia: fueron violentadas por los grupos armados ilegales que operaron en sus territorios, llámense guerrillas o paramilitares; y no han logrado que el Estado las repare de manera efectiva ni les garantice la no repetición de los hechos que las victimizaron.
En ese sentido, las víctimas, además de haberlo perdido todo (familiares y bienes materiales), siguen sin encontrar una respuesta que les satisfaga por parte de un Estado que no les reconoce como tal y que ha creído que basta con una compensación económica para que su papel sea suficiente.

Sin embargo, hay algo que las víctimas reclaman y que difícilmente encontrarán en un país como Colombia: verdad.

A lo largo de los años, las víctimas de la violencia en Norte de Santander han reclamado que todos aquellos que participaron de lo que fue el holocausto paramilitar en el departamento, cuenten la verdad sobre su papel al interior de este proyecto criminal y se acojan a los beneficios que la justicia ha dispuesto para que, incluso, no paguen un día de cárcel a cambio de contar la verdad.

En Norte de Santander, hasta 1999, fueron muchos los comerciantes, políticos y miembros de la fuerza pública que apoyaron a las guerrillas. En Norte de Santander, entre 1999 y 2004, fueron muchos los comerciantes, ganaderos, políticos y miembros de la fuerza pública que apoyaron a los paramilitares.
Sin embargo, aún hoy, las víctimas, después de tantos años, siguen esperando que estas personas se acerquen hasta la justicia y cuenten cuál fue su papel en el marco de la guerra que ha desangrado a esta región desde hace más de 40 años.

En el departamento, muchos políticos de la época prefirieron mirar hacia otro lado cuando los paramilitares arrasaron con todo a su paso en Norte de Santander. En el Catatumbo, muchos políticos se beneficiaron de la presencia guerrillera en sus territorios para construir un poderío que se tradujo en beneficios económicos para los de sus movimientos. En ambos casos, estos políticos han pasado de agache y aún hoy callan sobre lo que fue su verdadero papel en la guerra que seguimos sin superar y que necesita de la verdad para empezar a sanar tanta barbarie.

Las víctimas, más que plata y monumentos, necesitan verdad. Saber por qué pasó lo que pasó y por qué a pesar de que en muchos casos los que les terminó afectando estaba anunciado, el Estado no hizo nada para evitarlo.

Allí está la JEP. Allí está la Comisión de la Verdad. Bienvenidos todos los que quieran ayudar a este país a reconciliarse. A los que no, que la historia se encargue de darles su lugar donde reposan los que se aliaron con los violentos para arrasar con el pueblo que decían defender.
