Starting in December, if the far-right Javier Milei assumes the Argentine presidency and keeps his promises, the ESMA historical memory site, the former concentration camp through which some 5,000 dissidents of the last military dictatorship passed before disappearing, will become a place to recognize “all victims of terrorism.” This was announced by Victoria Villarruel, the candidate for vice president of La Libertad Avanza, the Milei microparty that won the primary elections on August 13 and is emerging as a favorite to win in the first round, on October 22, or in the second round. , on November 19.
Villarruel, niece of a repressor prosecuted for crimes against humanity and daughter of a military coup leader from the 1980s, she would be in charge of human rights, security and defense policies in a hypothetical Milei presidency. Although the 16-hectare property that houses the Higher School of Mechanics of the Navy (ESMA), in a wealthy neighborhood in the north of the Argentine capital, has just been declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations, Villarruel already anticipated that it will radically modify its meaning.
