The plaque dedicated to the artist Cristina Ortiz, La Veneno, in the Parque del Oeste in Madrid has been vandalized again, this time burned and beaten. This is not the first time that an act of vandalism has occurred in front of this plaque, which was placed in the aforementioned Madrid park.
The senator for Más Madrid Carla Antonelli has raised the alarm through her social networks. "This is Cristina Ortiz's plaque, La Veneno, once again, one more day, one more time. Every grievance, every insult, every vandalization, beating or humiliation makes us bigger, stronger and safer," he replied. to the aggressors.
"What the garbage, scum, TERF and miseries of the putrid mud do not know is that we build ourselves over and over again from scratch and from our own ashes since the dawn of time, that we invented the future to make the present and now nothing or "No one can stop it," he warned. His message ends with "because we were, we are and we will be."
This tribute, which reads 'In memory of Cristina Ortiz, La Veneno, a visible transsexual woman in the 90s', has suffered constant attacks. So much so that the Moncloa-Aravaca Government decided to protect it from it with a sheet of transparent material that would better resist possible acts of vandalism, which has been hit today.
Cristina Ortiz gave visibility to trans people. She died in 2016 after spending four days in a coma in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the La Paz Hospital in Madrid, where she arrived after being found in her house with a blow to the head.
He was born in Adra (Almería) on March 19, 1964. He was very popular on nighttime television programs in the nineties since he appeared for the first time in Pepe Navarro's program 'Tonight we cross the Mississippi'.
