It is Thursday, and like every Thursday le Madres are walking Playa de Mayo. We want to pay respect. The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo is an association of Argentine mothers whose children were “dusappeared” during the state of terrorism of the military dictatorship, between 1976 and 1983. They organized while trying to learn what had happened to their children, and began to march in 1977 at the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires in front of the Casa Rosada, the presidential palace, in public defiance of the government’s state terrorism intended to silence all opposition.
Milagro Sala is a leader of the Tupac Amaru neighborhood association,[1] part of the Association of State Workers (ATE) of Jujuy, and a leading figure in the Movimiento piquetero of Argentina. On January 16, 2016, Sala was arrested on charges of fraud and criminal conspiracy in with her alleged embezzlement of ARS $30,000,000 intended by the government to help the poor. Several human rights organizations denounced Argentina’s government at the working group on arbitrary detention (GAD) of the UN, alleging the ilegal detention of Milagro Sala. On October 28th 2016 the GAD decided that the detention of Milagro Sala was arbitrary and ordered Argentina’s government to free her inmediatly. The Argentina government considered that the GAD decision was not mandatory. Susu’ and Eduardo are incredibly active and vocal about this case, they spent months in europe to denonce and talk to europeans leaders about it. While we were in Buenos Aires some of the people improsoned with her were liberated, but not Milagro Sala, la lucha segue.
Paseo por avenida 9 de Julio and Bus go back home. We have to get ready to cook risotto at Eduardo and Susu’ place for the crew
