The article discusses the 49th anniversary of Argentina's military coup on March 24, 1976, which initiated a brutal dictatorship lasting until 1983. This period, known as the "Dirty War," saw the disappearance of approximately 30,000 people, with many victims subjected to torture, murder, or forced exile. The anniversary comes at a time of heightened political tension in Argentina, with current President Javier Milei, who has expressed admiration for the coup leader Jorge Rafael Videla, facing criticism for his economic policies and his stance on historical revisionism. Human rights groups and political figures, including former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, have condemned Milei's views, emphasizing the need to remember the atrocities to prevent their recurrence. The remembrance serves as a reminder of the dark period in Argentina's history and underscores ongoing debates about memory, justice, and political accountability.
