NOBODY DIES HERE, BUDDY. ANYBODY HERE FIGHT CONTINUES ...
Marcelo is largely an inevitable part of a generation. That generation that crude eighties, put up a brave and courageous resistance to the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. The result, commitment and revolutionary enthusiasm of those who lived through that process firsthand intact, do not go astray. As Galeano said "there are certain things death can not kill." And here is where the figure of Marcellus, with his constant joy, fighting, organizing, raising the alternative popular.
As Marcelo and there were many. Ordinary people who gives all out, risking their lives for a political choice. Raul Pellegrini, head of the FPMR killed in 1988 in Los Queñes, within the framework of an armed invasion, also knew about the political commitment to reach the level of giving his life for the people, " The greatness of the revolutionary struggle is allowed past the contradictions, selfishness and the risks, hence the defiance of death for a noble cause . " And it is in both cases, it was.
Marcelo's story was also the story of many like him, took a political commitment towards transforming our society. It was one of many willing to give their lives for freedom. The story of him and many of our fallen brothers, a story full of love and revolutionary commitment. " The blood of good people is not spilled in vain " José Martí once said.
Barrios Marcelo Andrade was killed on August 31, 1989, by agents of the CNI
Today 19 years later we do a historical restoration based on the memory of this fallen comrade, but not as a mere memory melancholy, but as testimony to restore and rebuild the political initiative of the people. Just as I thought Marcelo, is inevitably necessary to know the past to understand and transform the present and the future.
