Argentinean Condemns Elimination of Child Search Unit

Buenos Aires, Aug 18 (Prensa Latina) The president of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, Estela de Carlotto, condemned today the decision of the Argentine Government to withdraw from the Commission for the Right to Identity (Conadi) the powers to investigate the appropriation of minors.

In an interview granted to the newspaper, De Carlotto warned that the decision of Javier Milei is an attack against human rights, and asked not to erase so many years of struggle to recover hundreds of children taken from their families during the last civil-military dictatorship (1976-1983).

By means of Decree 727/2024, Milei repealed Decree 715 of June 9, 2004, which created the Special Unit for the Investigation of the disappearance of children as a consequence of the actions of State terrorism (UEI).

With this action, Conadi will not be able to conduct inquiries nor access files to contribute to the search carried out by the Abuelas.

Conadi is 31 years old and deals not only with those who disappeared for political reasons, but also with children stolen from hospitals.

It is dedicated to the defense of children.

Milei moves is not only against it, but also against the Grandmothers, who have no budget.

It is an act of wickedness of a government that should allow us to know who we are and repair the injustice of living with another name, another people and another history, she affirmed.

The human rights advocate denounced that La Libertad Avanza (LLA) responds to the repressors and thanked the governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, for his support on this issue.

There is still a long way to go. We are looking for many grandchildren.

We do things in peace, for the common good and we do not harm anyone.

We are suffering that the government, which was voted by the people, is generating so much division.
