And yesterday, Felix Bonne Carcasses, one of the prominent leaders of the Assembly to Promote the Civil Society, was on his way to visit Martha Beatriz Roque but was attacked by a communist couple living in the same neighborhood as Martha. The couple, belonging to the “committees for the defense of the revolution” (CDR) was looking for people to take part in the aggression. Seeing that nobody showed up, the woman said to her husband: “it’s not important if nobody comes to help us. Me and you can do this”. Bonne Carcasses was hit by a punch on his face.
