00:00My name is Miguelina Martínez de Pesada.
00:03In Cienfuegos, on 15th Street, at the bottom of La Botella,
00:08that's where the confusion began, that I'm a woman called La Para,
00:13and that she's a lesbian, not because she's a lesbian,
00:17but because she's a thief.
00:21And I'm not that person. My name is Miguelina Martínez Francisco de Pesada.
00:27I've never stolen. I don't have a problem with the military or anyone else.
00:32It's like I'm chasing someone. I go from one place to another,
00:37and that's where the news comes in, that I'm that woman.
00:41Everyone knows the gossip. I have nothing against that person,
00:46but they confuse me with her.
00:48And I don't want to fall into more problems than I've had,
00:51because I act like I'm a criminal, moving here and there.
00:56As if you were her sister.
00:58Of course, as if I were her photocopy.
01:01Why does it have to be like that?
01:03They confuse you.
01:04They confuse me. They say, look at her, that's La Para, that's La Para.
01:07I'm not La Para.
01:08And where is La Famosa Para from?
01:10Of course it has to be from Cienfuegos.
01:12Do you live in Cienfuegos too?
01:14All my life. 30 years living in Cienfuegos,
01:16and I've never been confused with that woman.
01:19And two years ago, that problem came,
01:22but it's been identified more since September.
01:26What do you have to do in the police station?
01:29I've already gone to the police station, to the community house,
01:33I've already met people in the community house in Moca,
01:38and when I talk to them, they say that they don't know,
01:42but then the gossip circulates in the neighborhood.
01:47They have me in such a way that I'm nervous.
01:50So you moved from Cienfuegos to Moca?
01:52To Moca.
01:53And in Moca, the same problem?
01:54The same problem, as if I had a psychological problem.
01:57I don't have a psychological problem.
01:59They confuse me with that woman.
02:02Who told you?
02:05The police?
02:07No, not the police. I don't have a problem.
02:10For those who were behind La Famosa Para, it's not me.
02:15And you fear for your life?
02:16Of course. Of course.
02:19Do you fear physically or mentally?
02:21Physically, because I don't know who that man is.
02:24I don't know the real name of that person, I've never even seen him.
02:28Have they told you what he does for a living?
02:30He's a thief.
02:32What's your name?
02:34Miguelina Martinez, from Quesada.
