This way smiling, the recognized journalist Guareschi Robert already related his participation in the mythical newspaper the News. Today, 35 years after finalized experience, Avoided Gabriela he among others published the history of matutinal where Rodolfo Walsh and Paco Urondo wrote, the great figures of the writing. “The News of the montoneros” (Publishing South American woman), are the name that Avoided chose for its book, which not only reviews with details the constitution of daily the News, but also that sumerje completely in the daily life of “the new man” who populated the writing. Thus, the author powerfully shows the universe beyond the political militancy.
Interested in emphasizing the daily and familiar life of the men who today give their name him to political and social organizations, Avoided she reconstructs the foundation of the News, its ten months in the street and its definitive closing, while she consciously looks for the humanisation of figures that left the life by an ideal. “Not only the man nuevo’ but also the human being were `”, emphasized Quiet Guido, son of Robert, kidnapped the 28 of December of 1975. This way, during the presentation of the book last night in he soothes of the Mu Magazine, the young lawyer observed the spirit of the book of Evasion: the humanisation of men who many only remember like martyrs.
In that sense, Javier Urondo, son of the poet assassinated already during the last dictatorship, affirmed that “the death always is miserable”. Thus necessity raised to begin to discuss what happened, “not as invoice happens of”, while it indicated that to construct the past from the epic thing “it gives fear me, does not close to me”. The presentation also had Miguel Bonasso, old director of the News, that next to Guareschi and photographer Carlos Bosch related anecdotes of a newspaper that got to sell almost 200,000 units per day. “The workers read who came in train”, the present national deputy counted.
The commentary of Bonasso is not accidental, since the News were thought from the first moment like a newspaper for the working-class, does not stop the militants. Also, the matutinal one was the antithesis of the Opinion of Jacobo Timerman, which was directed to the sophisticated middle-class high of the City of Buenos Aires. On the matter, Avoided it emphasizes in his book how figures of the caliber of Walsh, Urondo, Bonasso, Horacio Verbitsky, Juan Gelman, Guareschi, Carlos Ulanovsky resigned to their companies to spend 100% to the information. The style of the News imitated to old vespertine with titles the catastrophes, but with a special extra: the ideological commitment.
This way, the book “the News of the Montoneros” of Avoided Gabriela not only is the history of a mythical newspaper, but also the attempt to reconstruct the political context that posilitó its foundation, the interest of the journalists (of different ideologies) to participate in such experencia and, by on all the things, the necessity to show that behind the militancy also there was another life.
