“Iván sends me signals to keep going, if it wasn’t for his strength, I would be dead”, explains Mª José His goal is to raise the maximum penalty for killing another person as a result of serious recklessness at the wheel “If we achieve this reform, we will be avoiding more tragedies and suffering. We are on time”, says Iván’s mother. What happened on December 9, 2016? Silence. Mª José Jiménez gathers strength and takes a deep breath to be able to tell her story. She knows that if not, the sadness will make the words do not come out. “No one should lose a child, but much less like this. Your life is broken forever”. With a chest full of air, he tells the story in a rush. “Iván was 15 years old, his whole life ahead of him. That night he came from seeing the Christmas lights with his father. They came home and They were waiting for the bus at the Plaza de Neptuno stop in Madrid. In tenths of a second, a driver who tripled the speed limit, who multiplied by seven the blood alcohol level and who tested positive for cocaine, got on the sidewalk and he ran over. He was thrown many meters away, leaving him lying on the asphalt with serious injuries incompatible with life”, the air runs out, her voice is cut off, but Mª José continues. “Every day I want to die, but Iván gives me strength” “His father was with him. The person who was driving left by his own means and when he saw the scene of horror, death and desolation he had left, he tried to escape from the place of the facts, but they caught him. Iván endured nine days in a coma, “he explains. “I received a call at 11:30 p.m. on December 9, I was in Barcelona, I wanted to die. It gave me time to say goodbye again, to promise that I would fight so that this would not happen again, to tell him that I was going to write to him the most beautiful song in the world”, he says with a small voice. And Ivan left. His parents donated his organs because he had asked them to. “If something happens to me, I want to be an organ donor. It was my life, my light, my path. The sadness is so great that I don’t know how I get out of bed every day. I go to work and think: ‘if I want to die ‘, I take the car and think: ‘if what I want is to die’, I have breakfast and say to myself: ‘if I don’t want to be here'”. “My son’s life is not worth four years in prison” But being sunk she got up. Mª José believes that Iván, from wherever he is, is the one who keeps her going, who fights, who is the voice that so many people need. For this reason, today she is fighting a battle to intensify the penal code. The author of the abuse of her son has been sentenced to 4 years in prison. “It was a totally insufficient sentence. My son’s life is not worth four years. It was a murder. He was drunk and drugged and fully conscious, he took the car and ended my son’s life. It is not involuntary manslaughter,” he confesses . Pere Navarro, the Director of Traffic, told her one day “I think you have already saved some lives”, she says proudly, and adds that, from the DGT she is already raising awareness but now one more step is missing. Toughen the Penal CodeThis Tuesday, Iván’s mother and relatives of victims of road violence, who died on the road due to reckless driving and drug and/or alcohol use, delivered more than half a million signatures to Congress request a tightening of article 142 of the Penal Code. The objective is clear. That these crimes cease to be considered reckless and are classified as intentional crimes in the modality of possible intent. A few months ago, the Criminal Code regarding recklessness at the wheel was modified, but it only affected those who had caused the death of two or more people. “It is not understood that in our cases, that only one person had died, the penalties were left the same, they were not increased. Why do the lives of our relatives, because they are lost individually and not in a group, have less value?” , asks María José. Reckless homicide is sentenced to one to four years in prison and in many cases the guilty do not go to prison. The culprits continue to go unpunished Now with so many signatures this has become a popular petition that must be heard by the Congress of Deputies. “This time we are many more. Because since they promised us changes, time has continued to pass, more people have continued to die and more culprits have continued to go unpunished. We have once again asked for justice and remember that the more time passes, the more people like my son they will die”, comments María José Jiménez. Christmas is approaching. María José’s life turns black again. Every December 9 my son dies again. Iván is not going to return, but his mother hopes that if the sentences are finally toughened and increased to 12 years in prison, perhaps the death of his son has been worth it.
