(From Santa Fe)

The human rights organizations repudiated the parade of golfer Aldo Rico in Buenos Aires and the subsequent justification of the Minister of Defense, Oscar Aguad. "The government of Mauricio Macri seeks to erase from the memory of Argentineans the meaning of the coup d'etat" of the Holy Week of 1987 that "puts democracy on the brink" and "forces the sanction of the laws of Obedience and Last Point "which guaranteed the impunity of the genocide for nearly twenty years, warned the Forum against Impunity and Justice of Santa Fe.

The Forum, the mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, the sons, relatives of the missing, the Argentine League of Human Rights and former political prisoners, among other organizations, have condemned the "Official presence of former military officer Aldo Rico at the July 9 Buenos Aires parade" Aires "and the apology of Minister Aguad, who stated that the 1987 uprising was" a small event that, in my opinion, did not put democracy in check ".

"Repudiation is total," said Hijos Santa Fe. "It is very serious and disgusting for a golfer like Aldo Rico to participate in an institutional act, but it is more serious and repugnant than a defense minister like that Oscar Aguad justifies it. "

"In this way," added the Forum, "the Macri government is trying to erase from the memory of the Argentinians the meaning of the 1987 coup attempt, which put democracy on the verge of collapse and imposed the sanction "of the laws of obedience. and last point. "This has ensured impunity for the genocide of the dictatorship for nearly two decades," he added.

"After many years of struggle of human rights organizations and state policies of Memory, Truth and Justice adopted since 2003, it was possible to repeal the laws on impunity" which, during their "validity", benefited "hundreds of people". genocide that died without conviction ".

The national secretary of the Argentine League of Human Rights, José Schulman, wrote on his website: "Aguad, Rico, the military parade and the reason we say that the fachos parade". "Aguad expresses the true thought of Macri and the government," said Schulman. "Why do carapintadas get up in 1987?" Asked he. After the rise of Holy Week, followed another in Monte Caseros and Seineldín, to Villa Martelli. "The badertion was that there was no memory, neither truth nor justice, that's what Aguad hides, he says that the army did not not put democracy in check, but they asked for something that they supported. "

"What are we talking about?" Asked Schulman again. These were "coup attempts". During Holy Week, "General Ernesto Alais, former leader of the 2nd Army Corps, ordered him to regain control of the situation, left Rosario and never came" to Buenos Aires . And the former president Raúl Alfonsín "ends up negotiating what will be later the laws of obedience due and stop".
