00:08cuts, institutional communication strategies, and public discourse, silencing and disputing the 30,000 victims of this terrible chapter in Argentine
00:16history.
00:18In his first years in office, the government of Javier Milley dismantled the National Commission for the Right to Identity,
00:27a key agency for locating babies who had been abducted by the dictatorship and modified the script at the Navy
00:33Mechanical School Museum to include references to alleged subversive activities.
00:37Throughout Decrees 3-44-2025 and 4-96-2025, the executive branch ordered the restructuring of the National Archive of
00:46Memory and the Esma Site Museum.
00:48Both institutions were incorporated as national directorates within the International Center for the Promotion of Human Rights.
00:54On April 3, 2025, Justice Minister Mariano Cuneoli-Barona announced the suspension of funding for 13 human rights organizations that
01:01manage resources for the maintenance of the former Esma Site.
01:04The decision is part of the government's policy to reduce public spending.
01:08The government is promoting the concept of complete memory as the cornerstone of its institutional communication.
01:14Every March 24, the government releases videos challenging the narrative of human rights organizations.
01:19In 2026, the government is considering the possibility of granting patterns to military personnel convicted for crimes against humanity.
01:26However, Law 27-156, enacted in 2015, expressly prohibited the granting patterns, amnesty, or commutations of sentences to those convicted
01:36of crimes against humanity.
01:41In this context of memories, truth, and justice, let's go live with our correspondent, Medelio de los Santos, in Argentina,
01:47Buenos Aires, for all the information of this important week in the South American nation.
