Alberto Fernández will receive Thursday morning Nora Cortiñas and Nobel Peace Prize winner Adolfo Pérez Esquivel , in an attempt to close the question that was unleashed last week, when he stressed that "the officers of our three Armed Forces have left democracy "and asked " to turn the page " , which generated a harsh response from the president of Mothers of Plaza de Mayo-Founding Line.
The meeting, since 11 in Casa Rosada, motivated the President to change his agenda: he planned to travel early to Rosario to put the new head of the Joint Chiefs of the Armed Forces, brigadier general, Juan Martín Paleo.
Official spokesmen indicated that the President's decision to change his plans is due to the Government's intention to close the crossing with Cortiñas, who had become angry at the president's sayings and accused him of "denialist".
Alberto F. apologized for not using the relevant words. "I have seen that my words have hurt the sensitivity of the victims of the dictatorship. I never wanted to cause them the slightest pain," he lamented.
"Days ago, on the occasion of firing a military contingent that was leaving on a peace mission to Cyprus, I hinted that now all the officers of our Armed Forces had emerged in democracy. At that time I celebrated that fact. From here In addition, we must not analyze whether any of our officers participated in the systematic human rights violations that were part of the genocide that our country suffered between 1976 and 1983. That is why I said that we could 'turn the page' because among our officers we no longer they remain active or complacent of state terrorism, "he argued. And he remarked:" Let no one believe that I deny the horror experienced. "
Alberto received the support of the holders of Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, Estela de Carlotto, and of the Mothers Association of Plaza de Mayo, Hebe de Bonafini,
"The only thing missing is that in human rights we are questioning what we know is a saving government," said Carlotto.
Meanwhile, Bonafini said he was "completely in agreement with what Mr. President Alberto Fernández said in relation to the Armed Forces. His expressions were very clear as to the claim of the new, renewed Forces that created Nestor, Cristina and Nilda Garré ",
Then, Cortiñas lowered his tone and admitted that "he would not tell the President denial again." "The word was hard, what happens is that here there was a genocide and you cannot turn the page so easily; you will never be able to turn the page," La Red explained on radio.
Cortiñas and Pérez Esquivel will arrive at Balcarce 50 together with the rest of the Provincial Commission for the Report, although the Presidency did not give more details on who confirmed assistance.
