‘국자인’ 엄마

1977년 4월 부에노스아이레스의 ‘5월 광장’에 어머니 14명이 모인다. 비델라 군사정권이 시민 납치?살해를 서슴지 않던 ‘더러운 전쟁(The Dirty War)’ 중 희생된 실종자 어머니들이다. 구호 한마디 없었다. 실종된 자식을 상징하는 기저귀 천으로 만든 흰색 스카프를 머리에 두르고 묵묵히 광장을 돌았다. ‘산 채로 돌아오라’는 작은 플래카드가 전부였다. 어머니들은 매주 목요일 오후 광장에 모였고, 참가자가 늘어났다. 6년 만에 정권이 무너졌다. ‘엄마들의 힘’이다.

중국에선 ‘천안문 어머니(天安門 母親)’가 모성 파워의 상징으로 꼽힌다. 1989년 천안문 사태 희생자 어머니들로 구성된 모임이다. 중국 정부는 천안문 사태에 침묵을 강요하지만 어머니들은 망각을 거부한다. 진상을 밝히고 희생자 명예를 회복하기 위해 투쟁 중이다. 2008년 인터넷 사이트를 개설해 ‘중국의 첫 번째 권리 수호 사이트’를 만들겠다는 포부를 밝히기도 했다.
