Argentina is criticized for vindicating crimes against humanity

Horacio-Pietragalla
Buenos Aires, Sep 4 (Prensa Latina) Argentinean Human Rights Secretary Horacio Pietragalla on Monday criticized the organization of a denial event by Vice Presidential Candidate Victoria Villarruel, from La Libertad Avanza (LLA), whom he accused of vindicating crimes against humanity.

In statements to the AM750 radio station, Pietragalla denounced the seriousness of an event organized for this afternoon in the capital’s Legislature by the congresswoman and lawyer with the purpose of paying tribute to the genocidal elements from the last civil-military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983).

They intend to decontextualize and deceive society. It is the way to start gaining territory in the common sense for their maximum objective, which is impunity, warned Pietragalla, who is a grandson recovered by the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo (Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo).

I don’t think that a majority of the Argentinean people would agree with Villarruel’s thinking, who argues and justifies the rapes of women, the caesarean sections without anesthesia, throwing them alive into the sea from airplanes, after stealing their children, he added.

He pointed out that this is not the first such an action by extremist groups, and urged society to repudiate it peacefully.

He recalled that Villarruel “is the daughter of a colonel and the niece of a genocidal man (Ernesto Guillermo) who was never convicted due to his poor health condition.”

He considered it necessary for citizens to know the thoughts and actions of the candidate to vice president and the candidate to head of State for the LLA, Javier Milei, a few weeks before the general elections of October 22.

Today, members of social, union and human rights organizations will participate in a demonstration in the vicinity of the Legislature to express their repudiation of LLA’s act.
