Льидо, Антонио цитаты

Антонио Льидо Менгуаль — испанский католический священник и педагог, революционер-интернационалист, руководитель Движения христиан за социализм и одна из ключевых фигур Левого революционного движения в Чили.

Льидо родился в Испании накануне гражданской войны и вырос при франкистском режиме. Он покинул страну, чтобы избежать давления внутри католической церковной иерархии и политических преследований. Во время миссионерской работы в Чили работал с бедными крестьянами и рабочими провинции Кильота. Ежедневно сталкиваясь с борьбой местной бедноты за выживание, молодой священник укрепился в своих социалистических взглядах и оказался вовлечён в ряд политических организаций левого толка.

После военного переворота 11 сентября 1973 года Льидо был арестован, предан пыткам и убит. Попал в список лиц, исчезнувших при Пиночете.

Пытаясь обнаружить исчезнувшего Антонио Льидо, епископы протестантской и католической церквей Хельмут Френц и Фернандо Аристиа обратились к Аугусто Пиночету, на что тот ответил «Он не священник, а марксист».

За причастность к убийству священника был осужден один из руководителей ДИНА Мигель Краснов. Wikipedia

Льидо, Антонио: Цитаты на английском языке

“From the moment he arrived in Chile, the poverty, misery, and the anguish of the poor deeply affected him. Such was the situation he observed throughout the Valparaíso area. He lived very modestly, eating what the poor ate, living from his earnings as a French teacher. During the harvest season, he joined the humble farm workers working with them, and worked as an unskilled laborer.”

Statements made by Fr. Jesus Rodriguez in an interview with Memory and Justice Chile Organisation on June 19, 2003. http://www.memoriayjusticia.cl/english/en_focus-llido.html#A%20Priest.

“I do not wish to be melodramatic, but at some point I have to say it. If something bad should happen to me, I want you to know that my commitment to what I am doing has been freely contracted, with the joy of knowing that this is precisely what I should be doing at this moment. Fear is constantly present in each one of us, because none of us are movie heroes. But we refuse to accept that fear must condition our actions and prevent us from doing what with a cool head and fervent heart we understand should be done.”

From the last letter received by his family on September 1974 http://www.memoriayjusticia.cl/english/en_focus-llido.html.

“Faith in a distant, ephemeral God, solver of problems by house call, has also been left behind. Increasingly I come to understand my religion and priesthood as a committment to the society in which I live. A committment to men and women who struggle for a new social order where slavery has no place, that prepares people to fully realize themselves, in which injustice and exploitation cease to be our daily bread. I understand Jesus Christ as very related to this matter. I understand Jesus Christ as each one of my brothers and sisters. I understand that in uniting with them in this struggle, perhaps I will be capable of overcoming the small and large personal needs that are only relevant because they impede me from fully giving myself to this task.”

Letter to a friend on March 9, 1971 (from the book Antonio Llidó: Epistolario de un compromiso,Tàndem Edicons,España (1999) ISBN 84-8131-227-4.

“After the military coup, he was advised to return to his native land. He responded that he would not leave. In the hour of such hardship, he would not abandon the modest people with whom he had lived. He wished to share their lot. Still, shortly after the coup he was forced to leave the area because the military were looking for him, to kill him just as they looked for so many people. All of us who lived in Chile in those years bear witness of that fact. He went to Santiago, where he continued helping people who were fleeing. He fled with those who were fleeing. Even though he himself was in danger, he continued helping others who were persecuted. Once more, he was counseled to leave Chile, and once more he chose to stay and run the same fate shared by the poor and persecuted.”

“Despite his physical state and the abuse inflicted by DINA agents, who grossly mocked his condition as priest, he found strength to console his cellmates, sharing his crusts of bread or fruit peels to help us survive.”
