ARCHIVED - Spanish Prime Minister sends personal letter to young man who suffered homophobic attack
The young man concerned lives in Cartagena
The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, has sent a letter of support to an 11-year-old student who denounced an alleged homophobic attack in the vicinity of the Isaac Peral Institute in Cartagena to remind him that "you are not alone."
The events occurred on November 4th and resulted in the young man concerned being admitted to the Santa Lucía Hospital with a fracture of his nose that required an emergency operation.
The attack was initially dismissed by teachers as "a typical quarrel" between young people, but an investigation has now been opened to clarify the appropriate responsibilities and expulsions are not ruled out.
The Prime Minister sent a personalised letter to the victim saying, “health workers at the Santa Lucía de Cartagena Hospital have taken care of your physical wounds so that you can get back on your bike as soon as possible. Now it is our turn, that of all your friends and that of the public institutions, to take care of those wounds that do not wear bandages, the wounds of the heart”.
In his text, the Prime Minister continues “they have told me that you want to go back to the same institute where you started your first day with enthusiasm. That you want to at least try. And I want to tell you that, whatever happens, you are a brave man.”
Sánchez concludes by assuring the boy that “you have on your side the Government of Spain, Murcia, Cartagena, your institute, your friends, your family and the vast majority of society, who are proud to be diverse. Count on all of us to grow in freedom and without fear, to be as you want to be without anyone preventing you from fulfilling your dreams. I want to assure you that hatred has no future in our country.”
The document was released, with the victim's permission, by the Galactyco Collective, which celebrated the gesture as "an entire institutional statement against LGTBIphobia."
