Villarruel, who has ties with military officers who were part of the 1976 dictatorship, once again denied that the number of disappeared was 30,000. She also refused to say what she thought should be done with military officers convicted of crimes against humanity. She answered that there were “no human rights” for the victims killed by armed groups in the 1970s. “I think that, deep down, you stand by the dictatorship,” Rossi told Villarruel. The CELTYV and Villarruel herself have been accused by human rights organizations of promoting denialist ideas of the state-sponsored terrorism that took place during the dictatorship.
