  • Blanco y Negro president Aníbal Mosa attended the wake of former senator and Senate president Camilo Escalona in Santiago.
  • Mosa and Socialist Party president Paulina Vodanovic displayed a Colo-Colo shirt with “Escalona” on the back.
  • Attendees sang Colo-Colo’s anthem in tribute to Escalona’s lifelong support for the club.

Aníbal Mosa arrived at Camilo Escalona’s wake with a tribute that reflected the former senator’s political career and his enduring passion for Colo-Colo. The president of Blanco y Negro, the club’s controlling company, wore or brought an official shirt bearing “Escalona” on the back.

Mosa attended the farewell at the Hall of Honor of Chile’s former National Congress, where part of the ceremony for Escalona took place. Escalona died on Friday at the age of 71. He was a historic political leader, a former senator and former president of the Senate, as well as a recognized supporter of the Santiago football club.

Alongside Socialist Party president Paulina Vodanovic, Mosa unfolded the shirt inside the venue. The tribute then took on a distinctly footballing character: those present sang Colo-Colo’s anthem in front of the coffin, recalling the passion Escalona maintained for the club throughout his life.
