State Terrorism, Never Again,” relatives of those who disappeared during the dictatorship walked last night carrying banners with photos of their loved ones and demanded truth, memory, and justice. In the “March of Silence”, which has been held since 1996, demonstrators walked in complete silence only responding “present” in unison whenever a disappeared person was named over loudspeakers. “But the information about the fate of the disappeared is still missing in Uruguay and that is very serious, that’s why we will continue marching,” he said. Congresswoman Verónica Mato, of the Frente Amplio party and daughter of the communist militant Miguel Ángel Mato, who disappeared in Montevideo in 1982, highlighted the “popular” roots of the march.

The Brazilian government said that Lula da Silva also told IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva that Argentina’s economic situation is a key element in order to maintain “regional balance” in South America. “Argentina’s situation was the main topic discussed at the meeting between Lula and the head of the IMF, which lasted 30 minutes,” sources of the Brazilian government told Télam.
