The defense of Juan Del Val on the book by José Breton: “Literary freedom must be above the pain of the mother”

After the suspension by the anagram editorial of the distribution of the book “El hate”, written by the journalist and writer Luisgé Martín, where the confessions of José Breton were collected on the murder of his two sons, Ruth and José, in 2011 in 2011 in the Family estate Las Quemadillas (Córdoba), a debate was opened on the limits.

One of those who have opened on this question is the writer and collaborator of “La Roca”, Juan Del Val, who during the discussion table in which the interruption of the distribution of this book was discussed, said that the freedom to make a literary work must be above the pain of a mother.

By exhibiting his position on this topic in the “Lasexta” program, “La Roca”, Del Val described José Breton as “hateful and horrible character who has generated a lot of pain”. The collaborator believes that the debate is in the publication or not of a book and not to José Bretón.

“I sincerely believe that the freedom to make a literary work, on anyone and on any fact it should be above the pain that the mother can have,” he said.

Obviously you can give voice to the assassins

Moreover. He believes that assassins can be given voice, although it is known what the nature of those beings is. “Obviously, the voice can be given to the killers, knowing the nature of those beings; but obviously you have to give voice to the assassins,” said the writer.

The children of the children asks not to give voice to the killers

The mother of the children killed in Córdoba in October 2011 by José Bretón, Ruth Ortiz, said last week that last week “We cannot, in any way or form, give voice to the killers so that honor may be missing, privacy and the image of the victims or reissue them.”

He did so in a letter sent to the media, in which he thanked all those who contributed to paralyzing, for the moment, the publication of a book that collects testimonies of Parricide after years of missive between him and the writer and in which he would have confessed the crime.

The editorial defends itself

For its part, the anagram editorial defends its right to publish the book on Breton but will wait for what justice determines

“We reaffirm our commitment to editorial responsibility and freedom of expression, knowing that both must live together. In this sense, we understand that literature can and should face these problems without neglecting judicial resolutions indicate,” said the publisher.

Compare it with road or caps

In this sense, anagrama supported in a declaration that The literature deals with “complex and painful realities” and compares the treatment of this crime in the book with that of other authors such as Emmanuel Carrère or Truman Capote And “so many other” writers who have worked with “difficult and controversial materials”.

“The work of Luisgé Martín tries to clarify extreme violence, the conditions in which it occurs and the philosophical and ethical implications of cruelty as a push in man, exploring how individual society and psychology converge in acts that challenge morality”, he concluded.
