Buenos Aires, March 22 (NA) – Argentinos Juniors announced the holding of an event in homage to its missing members who disappeared during the last military dictatorship, with the unveiling of a new commemorative plaque. According to the Argentine News Agency, the meeting took place last Friday at the club's stadium, Diego Armando Maradona, and brought together the relatives of those affected. In addition to the mentioned plaque, 'The Bug' celebrated the acquisition of a new membership card of a disappeared person, which will be displayed alongside those of six other sympathizers in the museum that the club owns on Gavilán Street at 2151, under one of the stands of its stadium, in the porteño neighborhood of La Paternal. Argentinos Juniors joined the long list of national clubs that have paid homage as March 24 approaches, a date that commemorates the 1976 coup d'état that began the last dictatorship in Argentine history. 'The Bug' opted for a closed event, in which it invited the relatives of its members who remain disappeared by the military junta to the club's history museum. There, in the presence of its president Cristian Malaspina, a new plaque with the names and information of the disappeared members was unveiled; they are Néstor Sammartino, Ernesto Szerszewiz, Guillermo Moralli, Gregorio Nachman, Raymundo Gleyzer, Horacio Moreira, Américo Marchetti and José Feldman. It was the family of the last mentioned who gave the club the membership card they possessed, so that it remains eternally in the Argentinos Juniors museum.
