BUENOS AIRES - Thousands of Argentines took to the streets around the country on Sunday to commemorate the anniversary of the 1976 military coup that lasted eight years and led to widespread repression, torture and disappearances.
The majority of the disappeared were opposition members, union members or students, although infants were sometimes kidnapped, and clandestinely sold or illegally adopted. Sunday's anniversary demonstration was the first under ultraliberal President Javier Milei, who assumed power on Dec 10 and whom critics accuse of downplaying atrocities during the country's brutal dictatorship.
Earlier on Sunday, Milei's government released a video that focused on victims of attacks by a communist group prior to the dictatorship and questioned the figure of 30,000 disappeared.
