Argentine Church honors martyrs as Milei downplays dirty war
Original: Church in Argentina remembers martyrs as Milei administration downplays ‘dirty war’ atrocities
The Catholic Church in Argentina held commemorations honouring the martyrs of the country's 1976-1983 military dictatorship, known as the 'dirty war', in which thousands of dissidents were killed or disappeared. The tributes come as President Javier Milei's administration draws criticism for downplaying or questioning the scale of the dictatorship's atrocities, reopening old wounds in Argentine society.
Why now: Tension between the Church's remembrance of dictatorship victims and the Milei government's revisionist stance on the 'dirty war' has sparked debate in Argentina.
