“I apologize, I’m a little nervous, I’ve never done this in my life and I’m doing it because I’m very worried. I was born in Sweden, when there was a dictatorship in Argentina. My mother was 16 years old when she was kidnapped, pregnant with me, and she went to a concentration camp.” Whoever speaks in a car on line A of the Buenos Aires metro is Ana Fernández, granddaughter of Esther Ballestrino de Careaga, one of the founders of Mothers of Plaza de Mayo. This is not a coordinated action by a group of political activists, but an individual presentation, out loud, by a woman, purse on her shoulder, who passes for just another passenger.
Ballestrino de Careaga was kidnapped along with 11 other relatives of victims of the military dictatorship in December 1977, due to the betrayal of the sailor Alfredo Astiz, the emblematic repressor who had infiltrated the group of the Santa Cruz Church of Buenos Aires under the name fake “Gustavo Niño”. At the time of her disappearance, this biochemist exiled from Paraguay was looking for two sons-in-law. One of her daughters, Ana María, had been released after being tortured and had settled in Sweden, where the young woman was born who now warns in the subway of the Argentine capital about the dangers of the far-right Javier Milei and his candidate for vice president, Victoria Villarruel. .
