TL;DR Summary

On the anniversary of the 1976 military coup in Argentina, President Javier Milei's controversial video demanding justice for victims of leftist guerrillas before the coup has sparked protests and raised concerns about historical revisionism. Opponents fear his administration's efforts to change the country's memory of its dictatorship could undermine the longstanding rallying cry of "Nunca Mas" and erode progress in settling accounts for human rights abuses. The government's rejection of the estimate of 30,000 disappeared people and its dismissal of the military's crimes as "excesses" have ignited tensions, with protesters wary of rewriting a nightmare that continues to haunt the country.
