The triple femicide of Florencio Varela shook the country. Three young people were killed in a brutal event that generated social shock and an immediate request for justice. In the midst of that pain, the voice that stood out most was that of Lali Espósito, which chose not only to express its outrage for crime, but also denounce the way in which part of society reacts to these tragedies.
In her networks, the singer and actress wrote: “The barbarities to read … Justice for Brenda, Morena and Lara!” With that phrase he pointed directly against government comments that, instead of condemning without hesitation, dedicated themselves to blaming the victims for their life, their work or their surroundings. For Lali, there is no space for this type of moral judgments that seek to relativize femicide.
His intervention served to highlight a repeated phenomenon: in front of each case, voices appear that justify violence through prejudice. Lali chose to mark a limit, point out those “barbarities” and claim that the attention is put in the murderers and not in the victims.
Other artists such as Tini Stoessel, Emilia Mernes and Oriana Sabatini also shared messages asking for justice. But it was Lali that was clearer and front, openly repudiating the speeches that revictimize and remembering that the focus should not be run.
With a brief and forceful message, Espósito became the public figure that expressed what many feel: that the claim of justice does not admit excuses or undercover guilt.
