Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice

[FrankPintor]

Just came across this: https://buenosairesherald.com/cultu...nal-episode-the-fate-of-the-oesterheld-family

It is pretty awful, in the context of the Eternauta series on Netflix, the grandson of the author, Héctor G. Oesterheld: "Martín, now a creative consultant with Netflix’s The Eternaut series, is one of only 3 family members out of 11 to survive the years of terror".

For those who would prefer to denigrate the victims and not remember, note that: "Two of Héctor’s daughters were pregnant when taken to death camps. It is believed they gave birth to children who the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo are still searching for to this day".

Always remember, this is what our vice-president, Villaruel, our defence minster, Petri, and several posters here want to defend.

The government announced they will now declassify all documents relating to this era, something which no Argentine government to date has done. Seems this act has caused discomfort in some sectors who seek to politicize memory of the victims of atrocities and violence committed during this era by denying the right to memory to some.

Anyway here is the official video released by the government yesterday which promotes a more inclusive memory of all victims, not just one side or those who suffered at the hands of one kind of leadership. Interesting to note that while condemning the executions and forced disappearances committed by the military of the day, they also acknowledge and condemn the forced disappearances committed by Juan Perón and Isabel Perón in the years prior, as well as the murders and violence committed by left wing terror groups.
There is also a detailed explainer around their take on the 30.000 number and and an excerpt from the interview with ex-Montonero Luis Labraña. (A number which if 30000 or 3000 doesn’t change the fact that serious crimes against humanity were committed).
It makes for an interesting shift in Argentine official dialogue by a democratically elected government.

This tweet was reposted by Milei. I thought I recognized the author's name. Sure enough, he's the creator of the video linked here.

Is the person to entrust to "promote a more inclusive memory?"

¿Por qué seguimos fingiendo que es posible convivir con los zurdos? No es posible: ellos odian la vida, la libertad y la propiedad. Ellos son destrucción, caos y empobrecimiento. No son conciudadanos: son enemigos. Es hora de asumirlo.

Excuse me for my skepticism, but I doubt we’re advancing as a society if all we do is replace one set of ideologues with another.
