Death
Argentina
By Osvaldo Bayer
is now thirty-five years. I write this for young people who did not live the past. It is a synthesis to be considered. There remains only the memory of pain to crimes as they had never happened before in Argentina. Of soldiers who were believed to own the life and death. With civil society accomplice. A dictatorship of burning books and the "disappearance." Concentration camps, torture and theft of belongings of the victims. Uniformed characters that were believed omnipotent. Economic sectors, intellectual and religious blatant support that system to "pacify the country." Thousands of exiles. Death with all its faces of cynicism.
But the Mothers. 
Incredible heroism of those women who gave an example to the world. Rarely in human history has seen the birth of such a movement, pain, alone in a society hostile to fear. Go out and claim the fate of their children. 
Those two are the examples that remain of a period so unlucky. Crimes imaginable and the courage of these women. As a final summary of extreme cruelty, nothing better to put in the death of the three founding mothers of this movement: Azucena Villaflor, Careaga and Maria Teresa Ponce, after unspeakable torture, dumped into the sea alive from airplanes. Will mankind ever attended a ceremony that perhaps more than anything so sadistic? This happened in Argentina.
All to ensure a basic economic system of liberal-capitalist who has an unforgettable name: Martinez de Hoz.
But let us not dwell only in the reality of that evil and greedy military dictatorship, but ask how it was possible. Was made possible by the failure of civil society. The horror had begun earlier. The Three A were the symbol of what later would come to the end. Prologue: kill a political enemy. Preface ending in the disappearance. Political parties rulers were digging a grave for democracy as expected after Campora consecrate the people with their vote and their desire for democracy and greater social justice. But just days later, and replacement Ezeiza Campora by the relative of Lopez Rega: Raúl Lastiri. Began to take shape here and the spirit of the repression to come soon with full force. I have a personal experience. My first book, Severino Di Giovanni, the idealist, of violence, was banned by a decree of Lastiri. So, without explanation. I foresaw then that would come very difficult times. First would be banned, then burn and then assassinate the perpetrators. López Rega as omnipotent power in the shadows. After nine months of Perón, ending with his death, and the fight will begin open.
The October 12, 1974 not only banned the book La Patagonia Rebelde, whose volume was published, but the film of the same name. I speak from my experience, but this became a general rule with something worse: murder in the streets of anyone suspected of leftist. Isabel Peron, promoted for their ability but not by name.
Yes, there were attempts to leave the pit, as the fall of Lopez Rega, but just because it was directly to the final fall. The military. Three names to remember: Videla, Massera, Agosti.
fouling our history forever. Not since the infamous decade. The decade perverse. The perversion from the Casa Rosada. "They are neither alive nor dead, are missing," General Videla tell foreign journalists. When asked about people who had been arrested. Disappeared. The generals will do to save before Falklands history. But it demonstrated the inability of his office. More than 600 soldiers were killed in their youth.
system Videla-Viola, Galtieri was also another rarely recorded crime in human history: the theft of children. Pregnant women prisoners took their child during delivery. The destination: the children ended up in marriages of military, police or supporters of the system could not have children, well, them was the newborn. The mother who had just given birth in almost all cases, was killed. In a Catholic country, with cardinals, archbishops and bishops.
All this is already known. It turned out the light. But we bent on repeating it so as not to miss any way. It took more than two decades of dictatorship in our country began to make true justice. Nor obedience nor end or pardons. True justice.
All
a tragic story. The typical military dictatorship in Argentina. Three and a half ago that began to rule the most cruel cynicism. The lesson tells us that we have only the path of true democracy, not only must conform with the freedom to put the piece of paper in the ballot box every two years, but achieving a free society with equal rights. Children still die of hunger in Argentina. When there are no national statistics that shame, when the slums belong to the past, we can say that we meet the our heroes early May.
