The 7291 Truth and Justice Association is scheduled to present the comic book 7.291 this Thursday at the Podemos Getafe headquarters. This work has been created from the accounts of residence professionals and family members of those who died in these centers in the Community of Madrid during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The comic addresses the consequences of the so-called 'protocols of shame,' which, according to the association, prevented residents from being transferred to hospitals and receiving adequate medical care in the centers. The event will feature the participation of a president of a citizen commission, a residence worker, and a member of the association.
“"Behind the figure of 7,291 there are lives, there are families, there is a pain that remains very present. We cannot look the other way or allow the passage of time to erase what happened."
The presentation will take place at 6:00 PM at the political party's headquarters, located at Concepción Street, 6. With this initiative, the political party seeks to use culture as a tool for memory, justice, and reparation, bringing to the public a reality they believe should not be forgotten.
The event aims to be a meeting point for neighbors and victims' families, fostering respect, empathy, and political commitment. A spokesperson for the political party emphasized that this event is an invitation to collective memory and to advocate that political decisions prioritizing indifference over the care of life should never be repeated.
