The Silvino Bustillos mystery deepened even more today after it was reported yesterday by his lawyer that he was alive and in Valencia. In fact, Bustillos reportedly talked to his wife and told her that he was in hiding after been followed on the day of the regional elections. He supposedly told her that he would reappear and explain why he had to go into hiding.
However, Bustillos has yet to make an appearance today and explain exactly what happened, while the Minister of the Interior and Justice suggests that he simply went partying for two weeks. We will only know when Bustillos shows up which no one knows when it will happen. His wife says he has made no further contact since yesyerday.
The case is certainly very strange and if Bustillo’s family did not really know where he was, eh is certainly extremely irresponsible. Two things make the case quiet mysterious: First of all, Bustillos’ lawyer and wife originally indicated the names and rank of those that were following Bustillos on the day of the regional elections and the Minister of defense acknowledged that they were assigned to follow Bustillos for his suspicious behavior. Second, the reporter and newspaper that broke the case and claim to have sources are not precisely considered to be anywhere near the ideology of Bustillo’s Bloque Democractico, a right wing group that the opposition has always been far from and from which it broke completely from two years ago.
The reporter from weekly La Razon, Manuel Isidro Molina, took responsibility for the case, saying that he had acted in good faith and responsibility in the case, defending the source which he claimed was from within the military.
For now, everyone awaits the reappearance of Lt. Bustillos to see what his explanation for this charade is and whether he took the media and public opinion as fools or there was something real to this strange story.
