Since 2002, our country commemorates the National Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice, which not only remembers the victims of the military dictatorship, self-called National Reorganization Process, but it is also a day to remember a period that must never be repeated in our national history.
On 2 August 2002, the National Congress passed act 25,633 creating the Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice, which is a non-working day since 2006.
Therefore, classes will not be conducted tomorrow, hospitals will attend through the guards, SAME will operate normally, and street parking will be similar to Sundays, according to the Buenos Aires government.
Thirty four years away from the military coup, the central events in commemoration of Remembrance Day will be held tomorrow in Plaza de Mayo, but tributes will take place throughout the country.
The main event in Capital Federal will begin at zero hours on the corner San Juan and Entre Rios, where journalist Rodolfo Walsh was kidnapped. Writer Juan Diego Incardona will read “Open Letter to the Military Board” in its full version, which was written by Walsh in 1977 and it cost him his life.
In the building of former ESMA a march will be held accompanied by musicians and other artists, which will end in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Constitution. The route simulates the reverse route taken by writer that day. Protesters will stick posters and graffiti.
Besides the celebrations throughout the country, a campaign was launched through Facebook asking users to remove their profile pictures in tribute to the 30 thousand missing in Argentina’s last dictatorship.
“This 24 March lets withdraw our profile picture so that those who still wonder why that day is a holiday, see how it may feel that many loved ones would be absent all together, as happened during the dictatorship.”
During the afternoon there will also be several rallys and concerts held at Plaza de Mayo.
