La Curuba de Oro Mansion, Alto de Las Palmas, Medellín.

His Excellency Don Captain Diosdado Cabello Rondón.

Present.

Ambassador María Catalina Restrepo Pinzón de Londoño writes to you, very respectfully, from my pleasant, exquisite and relaxing retreat, doing the eleventh with bonus bread soaked in a tin, watching the sunset in the window of the family mansion in the Alto neighborhood of Las Palmas in my beautiful Medellín.

The reason for this letter is nothing more than to inform him about an intriguing and dark episode in the life of Edmundo González Urrutia.

I understand that he graduated in International Studies from the Central University of Venezuela, but his career in bloodthirsty and creeping diplomacy has its theoretical basis in his training, since his curriculum includes a Master's degree completed in the United States at the American University in Washington, between 1978 and 1980, on International and International Relations Internationals and American Foreign Policy (that concept of American Americanism).

Edmundo worked in his nation's international service and on November 24, 1976, he joined the Venezuelan embassy in the United States as a civil servant in the midst of the Condor Plan; there he was captured by the CIA, as was common at that time. For this reason, on July 27, 1981, he was transferred to the Venezuelan embassy in El Salvador, where he was undoubtedly going to carry out a mission, so he stayed until July 20, 1983.

Distinguished Captain Cabello, do you know who your country's ambassador was at that time in El Salvador? None other than Leopoldo Castillo, the same journalist who stole a budget (in millions of dollars) that the fictional Government of the Republic of Narnia granted him in 2020 to create a parallel Telesur.

As it turns out, González Urrutia, although less well-known than his boss, Castillo, played a role that was not negligible in the Venezuelan embassy in the Central American country in those turbulent eighties. His arrival in San Salvador coincided with a truly grim era, marked by human rights violations and appalling massacres.

The point is that, under the command of Castillo and the advice of González Urrutia, the infamous death squads were unleashed. The reports of those days are chilling: from massacres of innocent civilians, to the persecution and murder of teachers and community leaders. Not to mention the ruthless attacks against religious and children. It should be noted that all of this is documented, with horror, by media from all over the world.

Edmundo was supremely committed to these atrocities, being an active part of the financing and logistics of these brutal acts. The situation was so serious that the Church itself and some international organizations were raising their voices against violence, which, as it was known, had the unrestricted support of the same embassy where this second-rate official worked.

The reality is that these types of stories remind us of the importance of critically observing the past and the characters who, although in 'secondary' roles, played a crucial part in the events that changed the lives of thousands. Edmundo, although perhaps a second in the role, was a key actor in one of the darkest pages of Central American history. That is why it is not surprising that right now he is the candidate chosen by the U.S. government to face the acting president of his country, Nicolás Maduro. He is the worthy representative of imperial sanctions.

I say goodbye carefully in the hope of communicating again with your mercy as soon as the events allow me to do so.

I take this opportunity to reiterate to you the certainties of my highest esteem and consideration...

In context, between July 1981 and July 1983, El Salvador experienced several episodes of human rights violations and massacres during the civil war. Some of the most notable incidents were:

1. El Mozote massacre (December 11, 1981):

The forces of the Salvadoran army's Atlacatl Battalion carried out the massacre in and around the village of El Mozote. It is estimated that around 800 to 1,200 civilians died, including many children. This event is one of the worst incidents of violence against civilians during the Salvadoran civil war.

2. Operation Rescue (March 1982):

In Chalatenango, during a military operation known as "Operation Rescue “, the Salvadoran army attacked several communities, resulting in the death of numerous civilians and displacing many others. The operation sought to eliminate the guerrilla presence in the area.

3. Copapayo massacre (November 1982):

In the community of Copapayo, in the department of Cabañas, Salvadoran army soldiers killed dozens of civilians, mainly women, children and the elderly, in an attempt to eradicate guerrilla influence in the region.

These incidents are representative of the brutality and repression that characterized the Salvadoran civil war, which left tens of thousands dead and displaced.
