Buenos Aires, Mar 22 (RHC) Argentina will host Thursday marches in the main cities across the country to honor the victims of the civic military dictatorship that ruled the country from March 24, 1976 to 1983.
The tribute marking the 40th anniversary of the beginning of the bloody period includes a demonstration on Friday in Plaza de Mayo, Buenos Aires. It all coincides with the nearing visit by US President Barack Obama, who promised to declassify secret files on the US ties with the dictatorship in Argentina.
A group of priests, in response to Sunday's announcement of the tribute, issued a communique in Opcion por los Pobres, that defined as civic-ecclesiastic-conglomerate-military the March 24th coup, and calls to keep up the search in memory, truth and justice.
Página 12 daily circulates the clergymen's text, saying that despite insistent clamors not to carry the country back to that period, the memories, truth and justice restored over the past 12 years, during the governments of Nestor Kirchner and Cristina Fernandez, are in danger again in Argentina.
