March 24th is a national holiday in Argentina. It marks the date of the 1974-75 military coup d'état in the country.

The date has been used as a day of repudiation of the military regime since the return of democracy in 1984. The government of Mauricio Macri demoted it to a ‘movable holiday’ but the resistance of many made him back down, which is his thing, writes Jorge Luis Borges. Borges: ‘It is not a question of forgetting or forgetting but choosing what we want to focus on.’
