Argentina: the new government and denialism
Palabras clave:
Denialism, tortureResumen
On 10 December, a new government took
office in Argentina, the product of democratic
elections.
The human rights movement has dealt a
blow with the victory of the representatives of
the fascist extreme right, Javier Milei and Victoria
Villarruel. They refer to Donald Trump,
Benjamin Netanyahu, Jair Bolsonaro and
some European sectors, represented by the
Spanish Vox, or the Prime Minister of Italy,
Giorgia Meloni among others. All of them
with an agenda that backlashed human rights
achievements and anti-torture work.
In their proposals, Milei and Villarruel
openly vindicate the genocidaires of the military
dictatorship. Days before the elections,
the new vice-president held an act in the Legislature
of the city of Buenos Aires, the content
of which was the justification of the genocidal
actions of the military dictatorship (1976-
1984). Denialism of the State terrorism that
took place during those years is more than an
exercise of manipulation of memory; it is a political
interpretation of the present that aims
to influence the construction of the future.
