On March 23rd. , 1999, I had the tremendous experience of being able to see, as well as the silent world all, the images via satellite of what was given to know in the press as the "magnicidio" (1) of the Vice-president from the Paraguay at the first hours of that day, Dr. Luís María Argaña. In those images, raw, real, vivid that the global village invited us to consume, a man bleeding -I don’t know haw was he still on foot- with shotgun bullets in his face, he moved disoriented from one side to another, next to a van that showed inside it: a man sat down in the companion's front seat that he was in death agony for the received bullet wounds and in the back seat another person dispelled fall and recumbent on their right side. The voice in off of the speaker of told us that it was an attack that some minutes ago had been taken against the person of the Mr. Vice-president from the Paraguay, Dr. Luís María Argaña.
Beyond the excitation suffered by the news, the informative weight of the images that we were seeing, something didn't close around that of what we were seeing. That interior " voice " that so many times whispered me to the hearing: "Here there is something more", it hit my mind once and another time.
One of the so many successes in journalism on apprehending the diagnosis of the newsy fact. While somebody who goes before to see before looking, that investigates and predicts exists, there will be news...
This vague experience that we call inspiration, angel, gift, etc., that was the " bug " that was chopping me while I saw that tremendous thing, the inexplicable thing, the absurd of that Dantesque frame. That early " sting " in my journalistic restlessness, would make "welt" some months later, when I could meet with a source of information that put me in on the way to an investigation of which I would never think that have been happened and that it would take the edges that it has reached.
Always, for a press man the intuition is usually the beginning of a road very difficult of trafficking, mainly for those that we intrude in what has been given in calling journalism investigation. This true mixture misses of Sherlock Holmes and Clark Kent in which one goes incorporating for a true hidden force that many call vocation.
But well, there we were, the man and the journalistic fact. What had to happen happened: we throw so much of the thin thread of the doubt, of the supposition, of the facts, of the expert reports , of the documents that we arrive to the truth at the end. Hallelujah!
Everything very pretty one!, But... What it happens when the reality that we have checked contradicts all that that the public opinion, or better say the published opinion has been showing us rather? Have we been deceived by the mediatic apparatus , or did the crossed information confuse once again to the same journalists?
I invite you to that you yourself can retrace this hard route to the information, to the news, when it seeks and it should be exact, rigorously and truthful. Nothing else and anything less than a commitment with the truth.
In this page you will be able to appreciate, the same as in an iceberg, alone a part of the deep thing of this journalistic investigation, of what today at the distance considers, personally, one of the most infamous political complots that have hit our dear Latin America in the century that finishes.
Want God that the light of the truth falls on all these tremendous facts and for those the men of good will, don't never repeat.
