As a military police officer, I saw up close how institutional violence affects the most vulnerable — Black people, poor people, the LGBTQIAP+ population, trans people and travestis, residents of the periphery. For years, I witnessed abuses of authority that no protocol justifies, and this sense of powerlessness marked me deeply.

It was this experience that led me to activism: understanding that my duty goes far beyond the uniform. I participate in initiatives and discussions against institutional violence, I am part of groups defending the rights of women and trans people, and I work on education and citizenship projects. This is my form of reparation, of giving back to society what is systematically taken from it.

I don't believe in grand, immediate changes that spring out of nowhere, but I know that every concrete action counts. I denounce the acts of violence that many erroneously call "standard procedure", I bring information and debate where the State often only brings repression, and I use my position to protect those who truly should be protected.

To me, being anti-fascist is just that: refusing complicit silence, confronting oppressive structures even from within institutions, and ensuring that my existence as an officer and activist is a living contradiction to authoritarianism. Real change begins when we take responsibility for our part in the problem — and I am doing mine. Not with empty speeches, but with day-to-day actions, because no one will be truly free while there are those who remain under the boots of oppression.
