Bergoglio cite as a witness in the trial for the theft of babies.

By Nestor Esposito The archbishop was quoted by the daughter of a founder of Grandmothers as the person who approached them a contact for information on the whereabouts of his niece. It is the second time he summoned to testify.

Buenos Aires Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio must return to testify in a case involving human rights violations during the dictatorship. Federal Oral Court No. 6, the trial being conducted by Plan Systematic theft of babies children missing, most of them born in clandestine detention centers and torture of the regime, decided yesterday to accept the suggestion by prosecutor Martin Niklison, the lawyer for a group of Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, Alejo Ramos Padilla, but especially and primarily Estela de la Cuadra, daughter of a founder of the Grandmothers, who still wanted to Ana Libertad, his niece, in the hands of appropriators from four days after birth in the 5 th Station of La Plata. Estela de la Cuadra is the daughter of Alice "Licha" de la Cuadra, who died in 2008, at 93 years of age, not reunited with their missing daughter, or his granddaughter appropriate. Bergoglio will witness in a trial that has sat in the dock to Jorge Rafael Videla and Reynaldo Benito Bignone, the first and the last of the usurpers of power between 1976 and 1983. Baratti Freedom

Ana de la Cuadra was born on July 7, 1977, when his parents, Elena de la Cuadra and Héctor Baratti, had already disappeared four and half months. Since then he has another name, another identity and another story. Perhaps unaware that is missing daughter. Dictatorship with all its ferocity struck the family on the block, seven of whose members are missing. Ana Liberty was torn from the arms of his mother on July 11, four days after birth, and delivered-as-survivors knew a family without children.

How did you know? During the Trials for the Truth, in 1999 (when the impunity laws and pardons even prevented the prosecution of criminals against humanity, in general, and the appropriators of infants, in particular), Stela Cuadra was the first time in the courts of La Plata the story involving the cardinal. "Everything that happens in the year '77, where my parents are moving relentlessly, which are already forming the Human Rights Organizations are becoming a reality. In July, Elenita and two brothers were in exile in Italy. So Mom and Dad ask you to go see the Father Peter Rupe, general of the Jesuits, a priest with a long-standing relationship with the family. Rupe's father, who just came from Brazil for a major congress of the Jesuits, said then: Bergoglio father, Jorge Bergoglio, who was the provincial of the Jesuits in Argentina, is one that will take care of it, and then Candide Gabignia means of his congregation, to make arrangements and contact Bergoglio. "
According to the story, the archbishop heard from the lips of the victims themselves what was happening:" At one point, Bergoglio quoted my father and asks him to tell the story. Bergoglio then gives a letter to Dad, telling him, 'Well, Mr. De La Cuadra, you go to Monsignor Mario Piqui '. A small note from the task he had set the father Rupe. "Piqui The priest found the complaint and returned with a response transmitted by Reinaldo Tabernero, then deputy chief of the Buenos Aires police feared headed Ramon Camps," Yes, father, in fact, born a girl, but the baby was given to a childless marriage, okay ... and that good things are. "

At least three times in the last 12 years various courts heard the same story. "It's the third time I ask in court. Are we going to cite to declare or we will not cite to declare? "Estela was angry on the Block last week. Yesterday, the court announced that Bergoglio must declare, but will be invited before the court or, in case of using the powers granted to it by the church hierarchy, the court will be transferred to their offices for questioning. Article 250 of the Code of Procedure states that "not required to appear the president and vice president of the National ... and high dignitaries of the Church. According to the importance that the judge give to their testimony and where they are, those who declared in his official residence where he will move, or by a written report, which expressed testifying under oath. "But the final paragraph of the article says something else:" the witnesses listed may waive this special treatment. " In other words, if Bergoglio wanted, could go to state court.

The Cardinal already know the process and expressed a similar case option. In the trial for the crimes committed in the ESMA, in November last year, spent four hours at the headquarters of the metropolitan curia. They described meetings with the junta to pray for the Jesuits hijacked and Orlando Francisco Jalics Yorio.
