Argentine gov't releases “full history” video highlighting pre-coup terrorism in the 1970s

The Argentine Government of President Javier Milei Monday released a video on social media saying March 24, 2025, should be the “Day of Complete Memory” on the 49th anniversary of the Military Junta uprising headed by Lieutenant General Jorge Rafel Videla, marking the beginning of the self-appointed National Reorganization Process which ended up in the 1982 Falklands/Malvinas War and a return to democratic rule the following year.

The audiovisual piece of almost 20 minutes of duration, shared also by President Javier Milei, is narrated by the libertarian writer Agustín Laje and questions the predominant view about the 1970s

The video was released at midnight, before the mobilization called by the human rights organizations."This Day of Memory, we defend the freedom to know our history. Complete," he remarked in the publication.

The young writer will give text and voice to the message that Casa Rosada will spread this midnight for the Day of Memory, which condemns the crimes of the armed organizations. Tomorrow there will be a massive opposition march

The government sought to install the “complete memory” on the new anniversary of the coup d’état. It released a critical video of the 70’s guerrillas and denialist of the 30,000 disappeared.

On Monday, Javier Milei’s government released an institutional video advocating the “complete memory” and denying the figure of 30,000 disappeared during the last Argentine military dictatorship (1976-1983), a number managed by human rights organizations.
