Monsenhor Óscar Romero foi assassinado há 30 anos (24 de Março de 1980)

Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez

Homilia da véspera do seu assassinato:

• Monseñor Romero

«Yo quisiera hacer un llamamiento, de manera especial, a los hombres del ejército. Y en concreto, a las bases de la Guardia Nacional, de la policía, de los cuarteles... Hermanos, son de nuestro mismo pueblo. Matan a sus mismos hermanos campesinos. Y ante una orden de matar que dé un hombre, debe prevalecer la ley de Dios que dice: "No matar". Ningún soldado está obligado a obedecer una orden contra la Ley de Dios. Una ley inmoral, nadie tiene que cumplirla. Ya es tiempo de que recuperen su conciencia, y que obedezcan antes a su conciencia que a la orden del pecado. La Iglesia, defensora de los derechos de Dios, de la Ley de Dios, de la dignidad humana, de la persona, no puede quedarse callada ante tanta abominación. En nombre de Dios, pues, y en nombre de este sufrido pueblo, cuyos lamentos suben hasta el cielo cada día más tumultuosos, les suplico, les ruego, les ordeno en nombre de Dios: Cese la represión». (Homilía dominical, 23 de marzo de 1980)

• Biografias - Roberto d'Aubuisson

baseado em: 

(...)

D'Aubuisson was born in Santa Tecla, graduated from the Salvadoran military academy in 1963, and took a course in radio operations at the School of the Americas (*) in 1972. He subsequently joined Salvadoran military intelligence.

From 1978 to 1992, during the country's protracted civil war, he was the central figure behind the death squads which were implicated in many extra judicial killings. These included Archbishop Óscar Romero, one of the most prominent Catholic priests in Latin America. On May 7, 1980, six weeks after Romero was assassinated, Major D'Aubuisson was arrested on a farm, along with a group of civilians and soldiers, in a raid which yielded a significant quantity of weapons and documents that implicated the group in killing Romero, organizing and financing death squads, and conspiring to bring down the Revolutionary Government Junta (JRG) government, which ruled El Salvador between 1979 and 1982. The arrests triggered a wave of terrorist threats and institutional pressures which culminated in D'Aubuisson's release. For a time, he lived in exile in neighboring Guatemala, where he regularly used conservative-owned television stations to broadcast denunciations of various Salvadorans who subsequently were visited by armed men and later found dead.
