Far from shrinking the State, Vice President Victoria Villarruel appointed journalist Nicolás Kasanzew, who was a correspondent in the 1982 war, as director of Gesta de Malvinas in the Senate, a decision that was questioned by the Center of Ex-Combatants (CECIM) of La Silver for considering him a “denialist.”
“We welcome Nicolás Kasanzew to the Senate of the Nation as head of the Malvinas Gesta Directorate. We are very proud that the most recognized war correspondent in the Malvinas conflict collaborates so that we recover our history and recognize our heroes,” Villarruel wrote on social networks.
In response, Kasansew published on her platform “It is a great honor of which I will try to be worthy. I count on the help of my veteran brothers!”
When this designation was announced, the CECIM of La Plata stated that it was “a position tailored to a denier” and maintained that it was “the visible face of the military dictatorship” through Argentina Televisora Color (ATC). , where he was one of those who spread misinformation saying that Argentina was winning the war.
“He was a mercenary who responded to dictatorial propaganda, he did not move beyond the ten blocks that the town had at that time, he dedicated himself to putting together a set of interviews with soldiers who were hungry and submerged in wells full of water, while he ate cake and drank whiskey in sheltered houses in Puerto Argentino with the Military Junta,” they stated in a statement.
The group also highlighted that a conscript from the 4th Infantry Regiment of Corrientes declared in court: “Kasanzew did a report on me, he gave me invoices, coffee on the table, when the report was finished they took everything from me, it was for the report, nothing that See, it was to say that this is how we lived and had nothing to do with what we lived.”
