Darthés’ lawyer in Brazil, Louis Anthony Nazarethratified today that his client “is going to testify today at the hearing, he has no intention of refusing”, in a judicial round that will take place after several delaying attempts by the actor’s defense, which included a proposal to that the cause goes to the ordinary Justice and the entire judicial process starts from scratch.
In statements to the press, Fardín asserted that they are “trying to establish jurisprudence, not only in this case but in all the cases of all the people who dare to denounce sexual violence with how re-victimizing and how violent it is to go through the process of Justice”.
A Justice that, according to the actress, “He does millions of forensics to us and that only four years after I testified we end up litigating in the country he chose”.
Fardin have the expectation that “Justice not only sets the example with my case, but also gives an answer to all the people who denounced from this case and who seek to walk a path of Justice.”
Regarding his feelings regarding the case, he stated that “it weighed heavily on my shoulders during all these years. And what they did with me they do with all of them: say that we lie, that we do it because it amuses us to be in this situation. Without a doubt it is a struggle unequal, the power we are facing is very strong”.
“If I didn’t have all this support, I don’t know how I would have gotten here”he reflected.
And he added that, if she had “so many obstacles along the way, what is left for those who do not have all these tools.
“The feeling is to be fighting with toothpicks against a power that closes, that they protect each other because they know the waves that come when one speaks,” he reflected.
That is why “we must wait for Justice to speak. We walked the path of Justice, as exhausting as it is, despite those who say that we are a bunch of crazy people.”
At the end of her statements, and consulted about her personal situation, Fardin explained that she arrives “tired but strong because I have the responsibility to do it due to the number of cases that are reflected in this story.”
“It is very easy to indoctrinate many through a single figure, it is up to me to be that figure,” he concluded.
The new head of the Ministry of Women and Diversity, Ayelén Mazzina Guiñazúwas also present on the steps of the UFEM to show solidarity with Fardin, with whom he had a private dialogue and did not make public statements to the press.
However, companions of the actress did express themselves before the media present.
The actress Alexandra Flechnerasserted that “we were with Thelma from minute one, from the moment she decided to make the complaint and trying; and it would be wonderful if this case could set a precedent in justice because we have a Judiciary without a gender perspective.”
“When a victim goes to justice, she is re-victimized. Thelma had to testify three times while her abuser hasn’t done anything until today,” she added.
“The inequality with which an abused woman and her abuser are treated is enormous,” Flechner concluded.
Activists, self-convened individuals and members of AI and Actrices Argentinas, among other organizations, accompany Fardin, who is following the hearing from the headquarters of the Specialized Fiscal Unit for Violence against Women (UFEM), in the San Nicolás neighborhood of Buenos Aires.
Mariela Belskyexecutive director of AI, told Télam that although they do not know “what is going to happen at the hearing since Darthes may or may not testify, and he may lie because he does not testify under oath like here. The defense strategy has been prolong the cause.
And he added that AI is waiting “for him to declare and answer the questions of his lawyer and also those of Thelma’s lawyers. Thelma’s case is a before and after in the issue of gender-based violence, which in Argentina is already a structural problem.
“When Thelma was encouraged to speak, many women were encouraged to tell, the number of complaints that increased after her statement are infinite, and that is why it is so paradigmatic and important to you. It is a witness case, it is one of those cases that change realities,” he concluded.
“Justice for Thelma”, “It’s for Thelma and it’s for all”, “Look how we get on”, were some of the messages that accompany Fardín on this day.
