La despedida a Laura Cruz: “La mató porque era feliz”
El funeral de la guardia civil fue el viernes, dos días después de ser asesinada por Dámaso Fernández, su expareja, tras años de denuncias, recursos y coacciones. Su entierro dibuja gran parte de quién era esa mujer querida y protegida siempre por su entorno
On Friday noon, a line of green shirts and tricornes gathered in front of Laura's coffin. 66 agents, nine of them women, remained firm and with their hands on their chins as they made their way from the wooden box to the church to bid farewell to the colleague who had just a year ago filed the final complaint against Dámaso Fernández, her ex-partner, former guard, and the father of her 19-year-old son and twin 13-year-old daughters.
At 11:47 am on August 5th, 2025, Laura told the agents who had taken her statement, "I must clarify why I am so afraid of Dámaso, he doesn't care who he rides over." Months later, she warned again that she was in danger and requested that her self-defense alarm be reactivated, knowing she would not stop until she destroyed it. Justice denied her this device on December 19th, 2025, as there were no elements of "objective risk." And on Wednesday, August 5th, 2026, Dámaso killed her.
