In the midst of pain, he affirms that God was the only one who never left. Pineda also speaks of absences. While many stopped responding and others turned their backs, the process made one thing clear. Few friends remained, but those who stood firm are no longer just friends. A sigh of relief after such a heavy burden, but the process is still ongoing. The deputy thanks and emphasizes that they are still standing. The fight is not over, but the faith remains intact. This is how Deputy Raúl Pineda describes the path he had to walk with his family while his son, Abraham Rico Pineda, faced a process that shook them inside and out. He says there were moments when everything seemed lost. They cried in silence, clung to their faith when there were no more strengths left, and learned to wait without answers. The anguish of loving and being able to do nothing but pray was part of their daily life. People were there when there was nothing to offer, no favors, no smiles. Today, he does not speak of victory. He speaks of relief. His son was granted house arrest, a step that for some is just a legal formality. For them, he says, it is an answer to prayers made through tears.
