Regardless of whether they thought it was a systematic plan to repress opponents or a fight against terrorism, people described the period with sentiments such as pain, fear, and condemnation. After that initial pause most replied that “That will not happen.” It was transversal to all groups of participants. Almost half said their knowledge of what happened during the dictatorship comes from school or university. In addition, women tend to be a majority amongst those who consider the dictatorship carried out a systematic plan of human rights violations. While only 30% said they have a relative or friend who was a victim of the dictatorship, that segment appeared to be the one showing strongest feelings of rejection against the regime.

The discussion quickly spread to social media and the libertarian political sphere after Adorni’s explanations did not end the scandal. The ruling party, however, reacted swiftly. There were also additional concerns within the ruling party. Although the incident did not spark the scandal, it did fuel mockery, outrage, and also jokes on social media, prompting Adorni to apologize for using that term. The ruling party has attempted to establish the idea of “morality as state policy,” a narrative aimed at distinguishing itself from the privileges of traditional politics.

There is a new sport growing in Argentina, and no, it’s not the 90s revival of padel — it’s pickleball. A quick, social sport that blends elements of tennis, ping-pong, and badminton, pickleball prides itself on its low barrier to entry as well as its fun, deceptively strategic nature. “It seemed like a joke.”Without an actual court to play on, they improvised at Piazzese’s padel club, La Chimenea. After Carr left, these friends would play pickleball for hours on Sundays, when the club was closed. Pickleball still isn’t nearly as profitable as padel or tennis in Argentina, but it’s built with love and passion for the game.

The strike was planned by airport healthcare workers, firefighters, inspectors, administrative staff and land control personnel employed by the National Civil Aviation Administration (ANAC) who are represented by ATE. According to the union, the strike was announced after the government failed to pay ANAC workers a salary raise that had been agreed by both parties. “Any cancellation or reschedule will be the sole responsibility of the national government,” said in an X post ATE leader Rodolfo Aguiar. The measure was suspended after the salaries were paid without the raise and a meeting was called for them to negotiate. However, ANAC has still not paid the raise, which led to the union to resume the protest.

The Argentine Industrial Union (UIA, for its initials in Spanish) expressed its “profound unrest and concern” over statements made by Argentine President Javier Milei during an investors forum in New York on Tuesday. Now it turns out that being an industry leader in Argentina means stealing,” it argues. “The industrialist takes a risk and pays up, whether he comes out on top or not. If those who defend [the industry] are crooks, who gets to keep everything they pay?” it retorts.

Opposition deputies submitted a request for information to the lower house, after Adorni confirmed during an interview that his spouse, Bettina Angeletti, was “invited by the President’s office” to join the official delegation. “The truth is, it was my wish that she would accompany me,” he told journalist Eduardo Feinmann, from A24 news channel, speaking from New York. Critics highlighted that just a week ago, the office of the Chief of Staff issued an Administrative Decision that limited official trips abroad to a maximum of one official per international event or activity, to optimize resources. The measure requires substantiated justification for expanding delegations and establishes that the chief of staff is the person responsible for approving the transfer of ministers or other officials in equivalent positions. According to Clarín newspaper, Adorni’s wife was not the only spouse accompanying the Argentine officials in New York.

The Argentine Team of Forensic Anthropology (EAAF, for its Spanish initials) has identified 12 bodies that were found during an excavation at the site where a clandestine detention center known as La Perla operated during the dictatorship in the central province of Córdoba. The bodies belonged to victims of the military regime who were presumably held at La Perla and remained disappeared until now. La Perla was one of the largest clandestine detention, torture and extermination centers of the last military dictatorship. It is estimated that between 2,200 and 2,500 people were held captive there, most of whom remain disappeared. “It has been 50 years since the genocidal coup, and TRUTH is still coming to us,” said an X post by H.I.J.O.S., an organization formed by children of dictatorship victims.
