Marc's mother, who drowned while tying buoys in Sa Riera: "Those responsible are so calm, as if nothing had happened"
The parents criticize the justice system for not having taken a single statement in over two years and demand answers.
On Wednesday, 15 May 2024, a gloomy, rainy and cold day, Marc Ortega, a 23-year-old neighbour of Begur (Girona), fainted under the sea after three hours of freediving - holding his breath - in the buoy field of the Sa riera Nautical Club. EL PAÍS explained this fatal work accident, which was taken care of by the Investigation Court 3 of la Bisbal d’Empordà.
Two years and three months later, his parents, Marta Cabañó and Paco Ortega, with the pain reflected on their faces, have returned to Sa riera. They do not understand that the judge has not yet taken a statement. They demand that an investigation be carried out. “No one has made a statement, those responsible for his death are as happy as clams in their home, as if nothing had happened,” Marta reproaches.
Paco has the same feeling: “The Club is still open, Marc is not, so we put another one and that’s it. And that’s not it, things were done wrong,” he laments. An angry Marta says: “They did not follow any regulations, they disregarded everything!”.
