During the two presidential debates that took place on October 1 and 8, Javier Miley made clear his denialist position on the military dictatorship. The La Libertad Avanza candidate maintained that “there were not 30,000” missing people and stated that in the 70’s there was a “war” in Argentina with the ERP and Montoneros as protagonists. This was repudiated by the ruling party and Deputy K, Daniel Gollanrecounted the torture he suffered.
The former Minister of Health of the province of Buenos Aires touched on this issue during a session of the Chamber of Deputies to reject the expressions of the liberal leader who described as “excesses” the criminal actions once morest humanity committed by the de facto military government that took place. between 1976 and 1983 in Argentina, the bloodiest in the country’s history.
In his story, he recalled that he was subjected to “hours and hours of cattle prods” and beatings that he and “thousands and thousands of Argentinian men and women who went through the same thing” suffered. Furthermore, he assured that the Military junta had a “systematic plan” of persecution, kidnapping, torture and disappearance of civilians, among whom were political militants or people close to them.
«Hours and hours of prods… Hours and hours of prod in the mouth, in the gums, electric shock, hours and hours, days and days. They used dry waterboarding on me until my ribs broke… and then they continued, and when they mightn’t take it anymore, they stood for hours, and when you fell, they beat you brutally. In one of those beatings I fainted and woke up in a bathroom, tied, where everyone who went to urinate urinated on me. And many more things that I am not going to tell anymore,” Daniel Gollán detailed for Javier Milei, according to NA.
Legislator K presented the question of privilege once morest those “who are denying, minimizing, trivializing what happened in the darkest period in history” and maintained that “there was no excess, it was a systematic plan, conducted and supervised by the high command.” of the armed forces. Let’s not trivialize that,” claimed the official.
Finally, he recalled that upon his release he went into exile in Germany, where he heard neo-Nazi groups deny that the number of people murdered in the Holocaust was six million, a fact that is now happening in Argentina: “We cannot tolerate this. The truth is that there was a ruling that was mentioned many times here, which was historic, made during the government of someone whom I admire a lot, being a Peronist: Dr. Raul Alfonsin«, he concluded.
