00:16welcome back 50 years after Argentina Argentina's dictatorship the massacre is not only counted in
00:23the killed and disappear a horrible collateral effect was on the children of the abducted
00:30cívico-militar dejó entre otras barbaridades the civic military dictatorship left among other
00:35atrocities children who didn't even have the right to be called orphans because an orphan has the dead
00:41the children of the disappeared only have a void of anxiety so what was one of the
00:47actions of the association of children of the disappearance of Ruben Ricardo Infante and
00:53Ricardo is not his name it's apellido Ruben Ricardo well the periodistas of support to emerge and where
01:02we can serve ourselves well the moment is important but not all the doctors and sons found that shelter
01:11enough there were moments when everything was fatally insufficient to endure the terror
01:17recently a comrade who was part of the association we have several comrades who decided to take their
01:25own lives during all this time and it impact us tremendously obviously it is a complex situation
01:30always explained as nothing due to a single event but it seemed to us that it does highlight that
01:36the state terrorism ended but its consequences did not the Argentine government and even the
01:42Buenos Aires city government eternal deniers only deepened and continued to deepen the cruelty
01:48the human rights secretariat depends on the government they had done some more well because
01:54they also dismissed for example the legal team in Cava they covered the cases in Buenos Aires
02:01province they dismiss all of the lawyers another issue is the children of exiles who were born in
02:08exile and carry a painful route they come despite living abroad every March 24 to March here and
02:16their identity in that sense is rooted in our country but I also know many children who did
02:21not want to return here because they felt that being here caused them harm that was not prepared for a
02:27long time so it is a place of pain a place of mourning a place of absence when the government
02:33stopped
02:33pushing trials against the genocides higos lawyers continue fighting for the possibility the trials
02:43continue though they are slow and the start of some is postponed I can specifically talk about those
02:50where we are plaintiffs right now at this moment they are carrying out two cases in the capital where
02:56we are playing higos also pushes for the possibility folks somewhat alone it seems to me that it has
03:03not been possible to take so much testimony to our society the trial allow us a lot of testimony from
03:09clandestine centers because that is what is being judged and that solitude mixes with social and
03:16everyday conflict which this space helps to resolve the marks were very strong and you need someone to
03:22understand you many children always said that coming to higos meant not having to explain anything and
03:27having someone understand without explaining anything when something cause you regret pain is very power
03:33the military's pact of silence together with the delays injustice still punishes when we say that the
03:38crime continues as long as there is nobody as long as the grandchildren don't appear the harm continues as
03:44well the human rights secretariat while still being a plaintiff did not appear in any of the
03:51cases initiated at this moment especially when it's clearly understood systematically that plan of
03:59baby theft took the babies from the mothers and they were quickly stolen and appropriated so I think
04:04there is something there that helps understand the irreparable and resistance becomes a message it seems
04:12to me that it organizes you differently in the face of that and it is very powerful because on one
04:17hand
04:17it tells the genocide that they did not defeat the children of those they killed but at the same
04:22time it tells others in order struggles that they can seek justice and that as happened in our country
04:28they can achieve it despite the setbacks we are experiencing today which are undeniable so how do we
04:34think about the future we will continue the search continues and this search must have an answer
