Hundreds of Argentine activists gathered in Buenos Aires on Thursday to denounce president-elect Javier Milei's views on the dictatorship-era disappearances of tens of thousands of people.
Human rights groups are cautiously awaiting the inauguration next month of Milei, a libertarian outsider who has questioned the official toll of up to 30,000 disappearances recorded during the country's 1976-83 military dictatorship.
The protesters joined a group of mothers, who march every Thursday in front of the Casa Rosada presidential offices.
Carmen Ramiro, 89, who still doesn't know the whereabouts or fate of her husband and eldest son, warned of the "denialism of the future government that we are going to have."
Argentina's dictatorship was one of the most brutal of the slew of military regimes that sowed terror in Latin America between the 1960s and 1980s.
Those accused of being political dissidents were killed or disappeared, some tossed out of planes into the Rio de la Plata or the Atlantic Ocean, in the military's so-called "dirty war" on left-wing activists and sympathizers.
More than 1,000 people have been sentenced for crimes against humanity since 2006, when prosecutions of figures in the dictatorship resumed after a decade of controversial amnesties.
Milei has framed the era as a "war" where "excesses" were committed.
"There was a genocide. It was not a war," said Ramiro. "Many mothers have already died without knowing what happened to their children. I don't know what happened to mine either."
"I will be marching until my life is over."
Dozens of trials are still in progress.
