“The Armed Forces never collaborated, and they will not do it,” Zaffaroni said in a television interview on the eve of the 30th edition of the nicknamed March of Silence, a social mobilization for the whereabouts of those who remain missing.

The Mothers and Relatives group believes that there are files within the armed forces that are kept in secret, hindering prosecutorial investigations and the exercise of justice.

“But the information doesn’t come from the Armed Forces, it comes from the State,” she emphasized on Channel 10’s Arriba Gente program.

The human rights activist stated that there are good expectations for the performance of President Yamandú Orsi’s government on this sensitive issue.

“In 30 years, we’ve gone from denying the disappearances to providing information to help us search for them,” Zaffaroni stated.

The group’s founding mother, Marina Bellizi, 101, urged the identification of the genocide perpetrators. “We don’t just want bones, we want to know the truth,” she stated.
