In Argentina it is the Day of Memory for Truth and Justice. 35 years ago, on 24 March 1976 a military coup with support from civil society, established a repressive regime that forced the disappearance of 30,000 people according to human rights organizations. The anniversary is a great majority of Argentines joined in the repudiation of that state terrorism and in defense of democracy, albeit with some deficits on this system is still restored in 1983.
Meanwhile, advancing justice in the criminal proceedings against the dictatorship and has convicted 200 of them. The aftermath of March 1976 are still fresh, says Dante Gullo Kirchner deputy leader of the leftist Peronist Youth in 1975. Isabel Peron's government, dominated by the right, stopped and kept in detention for eight years.
Guillo recalls that then began a policy that left 30,000 missing, many prisoners, destroyed the productive apparatus and the rights of vulnerable workers, referring to the economic recipe involving trade liberalization, deteriorating purchasing power of employees and suppression of union activity.
Indeed, these days are held at the former Navy Mechanics School (ESMA)-one of the main clandestine detention centers of the regime now turned into Memory Space-a seminar that discussed the alleged involvement of business Argentine and multinational companies such as Ford and Mercedes-Benz, in the disappearance of shop stewards.
Both automakers have always denied that accusation, which has not yet been resolved by the courts. The radical Ulises Forte, Gullo also integrates with the Human Rights Commission of the Chamber of Deputies, says that the last dictatorship suffered by his country was a sad part in the history of Argentina, in which human rights violators every possible way.
The courts have already sentenced to 200 makers, including former dictators Jorge Videla (1976-1981) and Reynaldo Bignone (1982-1983). Of that total, 110 were sentenced last year. In 2011, nine trials continue and open, like the crimes of the ESMA. Some of them are near completion. In addition, nine other open processes.
Among the minority who still support the dictatorship are the ones they used anonymous propaganda that claimed this week on the streets of Santa Fe (478 kilometers north of Buenos Aires). Former Marine Jorge Acosta El Tigre so did last Tuesday in a trial for the theft of babies missing: "There are 30,000 missing and 500 babies stolen and that lie will lead us to a new civil war Trotskyist cutting." The memory of the dictatorship remains in place in society.
Yesterday, schools in the province of Buenos Aires, teachers and students remembered it in class. A day earlier, the education minister, Alberto Sileoni, had led an event with 400 students on the songs banned by the regime, as Cambalache, Henry Discépolo; Just yesterday, in Moris, I like the pit, Rabid Fish, The dinosaurs, Charly Garcia and The march of the angry, Peter and Paul.
On Monday and Tuesday of Carnival has returned this year to be public holidays in Argentina, after 35 years of prohibiting the military. Forte Gullo and agree that almost the whole of society is united in the 'never again' to dictatorship, but disagree about the current challenges of democracy in Argentina.
There is still elitist corporate entities and have no respect for democratic governments, says Gullo. "What corporation tell me?" Answers Forte, a leader of small and medium farmers who came to Congress after the fight with the Government of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in 2008. It refers to the corporation of the secretary general of the General Labour Confederation, Hugo Moyano, threatening a strike because the Swiss courts requested information on him in a case involving money laundering and now wants one of their own is vice president Cristina in the October elections.
From now onwards the "never again" means more respect for institutions and independence of powers, and better distribution of wealth.
