Tragedy in Barcelona: the twin “moved her eyelids when she heard the voice of the father”

The twin who survived after falling with her brother from a third floor of an apartment located in Sallent, Barcelona (Spain) “moved her eyelids when she heard the father’s voice.” This was confirmed by Gustavo Lima, the grandfather of the teenagers in dialogue with TN, from Ezeiza, minutes before leaving for the Iberian city where you will meet your son and family. “He managed to wake up, he moved his eyelids when he heard the father’s voice,” he said. They are going to put her back to sleep because her jaw is broken and so she can be operated.  It is encouraging but there is still a long way to go,” added Lima, who in dialogue with media such as The network and The Nation, he had said that “they could not move her the day before because they were afraid, she had very much taken the lung” and that she is “with mechanical respiratory assistance”. Throughout the communication, Lima said that his son, who resided in the city of Mar del Plata, “did not have a good time” there, where “he suffered assaults.” So he made the decision to migrate, seeking to change the economic situation of the family.” The bullying that (his grandchildren) began to receive was because he had an Argentine accent. I don’t know what is criminal about it,” said the man, who said that in the virtual conversations he had with his son “I saw him sad,” worried about one of the twins. “He told me he didn’t see him well, and that he wasn’t doing well at school. And I answered: ‘Notice that something is happening to the child and that is why he does not want to go to school’. Until he told his father that they beat him,” she said. So my son went to talk to the principal and they immediately minimized it. They said, ‘They’re guys, that’s okay,'” he added. At the same time, Lima recalls a video call with one of his grandchildren, who showed his grandfather that he had cut his hair. “I told him it looked beautiful. ‘ You don’t have to explain to anyone.’ There he gave me a smile as if he wanted to tell me something but he did not dare. In the letter he says that he had decided to be called Ivan,” he said. Iván and Leila attended the l’Institut Llobregat school in Sallent where, despite their father’s meeting, no cases of bullying were registered. For this reason, the Ministry of Education has opened an investigation that starts from the two letters that the minors left before making the decision to jump off the balcony of the apartment where they resided. During the interview, the grandfather mentioned that in his childhood he also suffered bullying at school. “The bullied kid always tries to hide his parents because he’s afraid,” she said. Minutes later, at the end, he spoke of the relationship of his grandchildren that he synthesized, visibly moved, in this sentence: “they were like two hearts in one, but unfortunately one stopped beating.” Line 135 from Buenos Aires or by calling 011-5275-1135 or 0800-345-1435 from all over the country, provide free telephone assistance to people in crisis or at risk of suicide.
