Argentinians marked the anniversary of 1976 military coup as political leaders attempt to rewrite history
ARGENTINIANS marked on Sunday the anniversary of the 1976 military coup that ushered in a brutal right-wing dictatorship.
But as tens of thousands of protesters marched through central Buenos Aires and raised banners vowing “Nunca Mas,” or never again, the country’s far-right president posted an astonishing video on social media demanding justice for those killed by left-wing guerillas before the coup took place.
Under the dictatorship as many as 30,000 people were killed or forcibly disappeared in a systematic campaign that still haunts the country.
