Overview
- Casa Rosada posted a 74‑minute institutional video at 9 a.m. Tuesday for the coup’s 50th anniversary that calls for a “full memory” of the 1970s and accuses kirchnerismo of using public funds to impose a partial story.
- The piece, reported as titled “Las víctimas que quisieron esconder,” presents only two testimonies, from recovered granddaughter Miriam Fernández and Arturo Larrabure, who both urge telling what they call the complete history.
- Fernández, whose DNA confirmed her identity in 2017, questions how Abuelas handled her case, while Larrabure recounts the 1974 kidnapping of his father by the ERP and notes courts did not treat that case as a crime against humanity.
- Human‑rights groups filled plazas nationwide on the Day of Memory and condemned the video for relativizing state terror, with large turnouts in Buenos Aires’ Plaza de Mayo and other cities.
- The government frames the video as part of a strategy running since 2024, when an official clip fronted by Agustín Laje questioned the 30,000 disappeared, a shift that has deepened the national divide over memory policy and school narratives.
