Hugs for the Foreign Minister of the Farc and coldness to the government of Paraguay

Justice should not be guided by the ideology dictated by power.

On September 21, 2004, between 5:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., Cecilia Cubas, 31 years old, was kidnapped when she left her job in Asunción, Paraguay.

His father, Raúl Cubas Grau, was president between August 1998 and March 1999, the month in which he resigned after an avalanche of protests triggered by the assassination of his vice president and political rival Luis María Argaña. Cecilia’s mother, Mirtha Gusinky, was a senator until May 2, the date she resigned for having received the Covid-19 vaccine irregularly.

Cecilia was kidnapped by a Marxist-Leninist organization whose origin dates back to 1990 through the Free Homeland Party.

A series of e-mails exchanged between its leader, Osman Martínez, who called himself Gerardo Acosta, and Rodrigo Granda, recognized as the FARC’s chancellor, revealed to the police the direct participation of the Colombian guerrilla.

The body of Cecilia Cubas was found in a tunnel covered with cement on February 16, 2005 in an abandoned property in the Mbocayati neighborhood located on the outskirts of Asunción. Specialists who analyzed her remains found sand in her lungs, which means that they buried her alive.

“I don’t think the fruit (Cecilia Cubas) can last longer, remember that it is already rotting. If the offer does not improve, there will be no more evidence and I will not be able to guarantee anything either, ”the kidnappers wrote to Cecilia’s relatives. The Colombian newspaper Semana published some of the messages sent to the family by the kidnappers advised by Granda.

To maintain communication during the negotiation with Cecilia’s family, the kidnappers wrote the email [email protected] and the password amanezien2, in a bathroom in the Shopping Multiplaza shopping center, however, during the communications they made a mistake: They left an email in the recycling bin, [email protected].

It was Rodrigo Granda’s mail. The police, with the collaboration of Microsoft, found the IP of the Farc foreign minister’s computer.

Rodrigo Granda was the architect of the kidnapping of Cecilia Cubas. “He was the creator of the Farc operations manual for this type of kidnapping and torture,” an official from the Paraguayan Foreign Ministry tells me who asked me to remain anonymous in order to detail aspects of the documents that they sent to the Mexican government.

Paraguayan President Mario Abdo Benítez wrote a WhatsApp message to Emilio Cubas (Cecilia’s cousin) last Tuesday night to let him know that Rodrigo Granda was at the Mexico City airport. Do you think you can be brought (to Paraguay)? Emilio Cubas asks him, to which the president responds: “We will see how Mexico acts, it is not a country that is going to collaborate on this issue” (interview by journalist Carlos Reyes from the newspaper El Tiempo to Emilio Cubas).

In an information card, the Ministry of Foreign Relations reported on Wednesday its “support for the peace process in Colombia”, something has nothing to do with the request for extradition to the Paraguayan justice.

The words of the Mexican ambassador to Paraguay Juan Manuel Nungaray are enlightening and disturbing. “There was no time” to stop Rodrigo Granda since he was already on the plane that would return him to Colombia. What in reality there was no diplomatic disposition from Mexico to the Paraguayan government, nor the intention of giving a few words to the Cubas family.

It is a time for hugs. Hugs to the Foreign Minister of the Farc.
