In Argentina, thousands marched through the capital Buenos Aires Tuesday to mark 50 years since a U.S.-backed military coup in 1976 overthrew President Isabel Perón and established one of the bloodiest dictatorships in Latin America. An estimated 30,000 people were forcibly disappeared by state armed forces during Argentina’s “Dirty War,” which lasted until 1983. The current government of right-wing Argentine President Javier Milei has slashed funding for human rights groups investigating crimes that occurred during the dictatorship. This is Nestor Di Milia, a retired teacher, speaking from Buenos Aires.

Nestor Di Milia: “At the time of the coup, there was also a deindustrialization of the Argentine economy. And, well, like every year, we will continue fighting so that there is memory, truth and justice and that we can have a better government in the future.”
