HUNDREDS of thousands took to the streets of Argentina on Tuesday to condemn the country’s 1976 military coup and to blast the policies of far-right President Javier Milei.

Every March 24, Argentina commemorates the Day of Memory for Truth and Justice.

This year they marched under the slogan “Tell us where they are” with photographs of thousands of victims of the dictatorship.

Human Rights organisations, trade unions, students, left-wing and progressive parties and social organisations converged at the historic Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires City.

The day’s focal point was marked by the presence of the Mothers and Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, whose white scarves continue to lead the demand for the identity of the more than 300 grandchildren who are still disappeared.

White silhouettes, representing the forcibly detained and disappeared, bordered the perimeter of the Plaza de Mayo.

The faces of the martyrs of popular resistance from the 1970s were also projected on giant screens in the square.

Human Rights organisations say at least 30,000 people were forcibly detained and disappeared, more than 10,000 political prisoners were taken and thousands of people were forced into exile.

The organisations insisted that these historical lessons are crucial in the ongoing fight against the current far-right administration, which they described as the “fascist government of President Milei.”
