Chano’s mother recalled the day her son was killed: “I wanted to save his life and death almost happened”

A year after the episode in which Santiago “Chano” Moreno Charpentier was shot in the abdomen by a police officer in the private Parque La Verdad neighborhood, in Exaltación de la Cruz, the mother of former Tan Bionica leader Marina Charpentier , she complained: “I wanted to save his life and death was almost generated “.

Invited to Beauty and the Beast, the program broadcast by TN and directed by Nicolás Wiñazki and Carolina Amoroso, the The woman began by giving details about her son’s gift: “It is admitted to a therapeutic community and close to entering the outpatient phase. Being hospitalized is horrible for anyone. It takes more than two months without watching television, a social network or the phone. Every day it gets harder How do you disconnect from the world?

Inevitably, the time has come when the speech focused on that early morning of July 26, 2021 ”.A year ago today my son was born againMarina was excited.

And he recalled: «Living a situation in which you see yourself a cop three feet away shooting your son… I haven’t even seen it in a movie. You can’t even feel it, you die. Everything that happened was a nightmare. When my son is operated on, a doctor comes in and tells us that the situation was terrible: “Prepare for the worst.” They saw the tomography and everything was wrong ”.

“I wanted to help him, save his life. My fear was that he would die consuming, that he would have a stroke or a convulsion like he had some time ago. I wanted to save his life and his death was almost generated”The woman continued.

Meanwhile, she stressed that neither she nor Chano harbor a grudge against the police officer Facundo Amendolara, who fired the shot when he was threatened by the artist, who wanted to stab him: “They talked on the phone and said no hard feelings, it’s okay. We were in Escobar courthouse and there were police lawyers. We had a good chat. I think after a lawyer resigned from the case, he no longer made sense. “

Chano’s mother, against the mental health law

Marina Charpentier instead complained about the mental health law: “The law should train people so that when they face a problem they are prepared. You can’t call the ambulance and get a professional who doesn’t know what to do. The law is not meant to solve the problem“.

“I’m not against the law, but it’s a fixed law, it has no territory, It was written by people without knowing what happens in reality and in practice “, he stressed to the woman.

In this sense he argued his critical position: «The right of the patient, who is destroyed, co-opted with his will by a substance that does not know what is happening to him and cannot decide because he does not have a good judgment. Can’t that person decide what was right or wrong?How do you intend to obtain the patient’s consent to admit him to the hospital??”, to complete.

Finally, he stressed that it is necessary for the opposition and the ruling party to put aside their differences to start the debate: “Health is one, mental health is as important as physical health. There can’t be a crack with this. It can happen to anyone, regardless of their ideology. DoHow is it possible that the crack also obstructs the mental health law? ”Asked the musician’s mother.
