A terrorist group attempted to take over the garrison of the Blue Army, but they were repelled five times. During the confrontation at the barracks, Lieutenant Colonel Jorge Roberto Ibarzábal, head of the Armored Artillery Group 1, was having dinner at an officer's house when he decided to head to the barracks to help in the defense. However, he was unaware that his house had been surrounded by the terrorists.
During Ibarzábal's kidnapping, his family experienced distressing moments. The PRT demanded a prisoner exchange and the situation was tense. Meanwhile, figures like Perón were the focus of media attention.
In an attempt to rescue the family of an officer, a confrontation took place at the barracks where hostages were taken. Despite the attempts of the terrorist group, the attack failed and some of the perpetrators were arrested.
The attack on the Azul garrison was one of the many episodes of violence experienced during that time. Despite the terrorists' efforts, security forces managed to contain the situation.
This episode, which left open wounds in the community, is remembered as a dark moment in Argentine history. Despite the years that have passed, the memory of what happened that day remains in the collective memory of the country.
