“We don’t even have the right to family memoriesof my parents and even my grandparents, wall photos of my parents, family objects with no monetary value, including the marble stone from my mother’s grave who was in the cemetery and who is there on Thursday”, asks Marco Paulo’s brother.
Ernesto Simões also says that his brother “never helped anyone in the family absolutely nothing.” “We never asked him for anything either. But we gave him a lot”, he concludes.
