Rubén López, the son of Jorge Julio López, who disappeared in 2006 before going to testify at the trial of repressor Miguel Etchecolatz, leaving a note with the census taker on the doorstep of your home of Los Hornos with legend: “A man must live here.”
“The digital census was completed, Los Hornos, calle 140 y 69. I did not know how to explain the situation, so I left the paper glued to the door. Hopefully it will be understood,” he posted on his social networks with an emoticon which represents crying.
The note reads: “According to the title page of the case, ‘Alleged forced disappearance’. A man must live here!”
Mason Jorge Julio Lopez disappeared on September 18, 2006, when he was scheduled to appear in the Golden Room of the Municipal Palace of La Plata to hear the arguments of the trial against repressor Etchecolatz, which he testified at the end of June of that year, in one of the most relevant testimonies to convict the former police chief, who received a life sentence.
López identified the repressor as the one who participated in the operation in which he was abducted in late October 1976 and as one of those who tortured him and other detainees at the Clandestine center of Arana.

Etchecolatz was sentenced in 2018 to prison life for homicide exacerbated by infidelity and prepared competition; rape, attempted, in actual meeting with obscene pain; “and illegal deprivation of liberty committed by a public official aggravated by violence or threats and torture exacerbated by the condition of the victim of political persecution.”
A few days ago, Julio López’s son gave a report in which he spoke about the decision of the Federal Oral Court 1 of La Plata that convicted repressors Etchecolatz and Julio Garachico for crimes against humanity committed in Pozo de Arana during the dictatorship.
Although he featured the sentence, he expressed his “angry” regarding the benefit of house arrest for Garachico and announced that he would conduct escrache in Mar del Plata against the repressor.
When asked the reason for his father’s second disappearance, he considered there was no progress in the investigation and no proof or hypothesis on the part of Justice.
“June 28 marked the 16th anniversary of that statement that led to Etchecolatz’s verdict and we will be doing an activity in the park with my elder’s name in Los Hornos, where we will be looking for a bust made of a friend and we will remember it, “Rubén López told Radio Gráfica.
