Pascasio Báez: The crime Uruguay chose to forget.
Dr. Lust dedicates a central part of the program to remembering Pascasio Báez, the farmhand murdered by the MLN-Tupamaros, and opens an uncomfortable discussion about how Uruguay constructed the memory of its “recent past.”
Why are some events constantly remembered while others seem to disappear from the collective narrative? Who decides which victims deserve to be remembered and which are buried in silence?
More than a tribute, this segment becomes a direct critique of historical concealment, selective memory, and the political contradictions that remain unresolved decades later.
Because some stories don't disappear. They simply cease to be mentioned.
