Overview
- Nationwide demonstrations packed the streets Tuesday, with a huge crowd in Plaza de Mayo led by human-rights groups who chanted for memory, truth and justice.
- Organizers read a final document that condemned government denialism, demanded the opening of state archives from 1974 to 1983, and warned of cuts to key institutions that trace stolen identities.
- The government escalated the dispute with a 74‑minute “complete memory” video that revives a two‑sides narrative and questions victim counts, while a ruling‑party deputy proposed renaming the holiday and making it movable.
- Speakers called for the release of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner as a political prisoner, and a La Cámpora column marched from the former ESMA site and stopped at her home before heading to the main rally.
- Rights groups cited the scale of unresolved crimes, noting around 30,000 people disappeared, only 1,652 sets of remains recovered, and 1,208 convictions since 2006, as cities like Mendoza and Mar del Plata held parallel marches.
