Argentina is commemorating the Day of Memory, Truth and Justice. In Buenos Aires, the main event took place at Plaza de Mayo to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1976 military coup. The slogan for the march was "They must say where they are," referring to the disappeared. At 4:30 PM, the main act began with the presence of human rights leaders, including "Taty" Almeida, Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, and Estela de Carlotto. Speeches were expected to be critical of the government of Javier Milei and his stance on human rights policies. Around 5:30 PM, a second document signed by political groups from the Left Front was read. Various organizations began gathering at Plaza de Mayo from noon. For example, the Kirchnerist group La Cámpora marched to the plaza from the former ESMA naval base, while the CGT union called on its members to join at 2:00 PM. The State Workers Association (ATE) also participated, with its leader stating: "The best way to honor the 30,000 disappeared is to confront Milei with determination and defeat him." In the days leading up to the march, numerous activities were held to demand Memory, Truth, and Justice, including the "They will blossom handkerchiefs" campaign launched by the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo.
