00:00In Argentina, thousands of students and rights organizations marched in La Plata on Wednesday to mark 50 years since the
00:061976 night of the Pencil's abductions.
00:09On the Wednesday, secondary students, survivors, and families gathered at former Pozo de Banfield-Clandestine Detention Center in Villa Centenario
00:18to conduct commemorative marches and promote historical awareness among younger generations.
00:24The events marked the actions of September 1976 when security forces under the military dictatorship abducted 11 high school students
00:33who were active in political and student organizations.
00:37These students were subsequently held in various secret facilities and seven of them remained missing 50 years after the state's
00:43security operation.
00:48It is very sad to know that 50 years after this tragic night, today the Argentine people still have the
00:55same short pause,
00:58the same lack of rights, poverty, misery, unemployment, indebtedness, and the mental health problems we have today.
01:08The living causes of death in Argentina are precisely three sides among young people for not having a future.
01:18And I march as well to fight all of that, to remember these youngsters for the secondary school class,
01:23for the model of the country I want, for social justice, so that people can progress,
01:28for the funding of science and education.
01:30Yes, the education.
