In 1986, the organization split into two factions: the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo Association led by Bonafini and the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo Founding Line. The head of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, Hebe de Bonafini, continues to defy a judge’s arrest warrant and is set to arrive in Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires Province, this afternoon for a conference this weekend. However, Bonafini refused to go to court, leading the judge to issue a warrant for her arrest. Bonafini’s outfit became the center of controversy with the Schoklender Case, which investigated whether the organization’s financial manager, Sergio Schoklender, embezzled funds destined for the aforementioned Sueños Compartidos project. Hundreds of Argentines gathered before the organization’s seat yesterday to prevent police from taking Bonafini, and she has continued to evade police today.
