The General Confederation of Labor (CGT) states that there are no plans to provide financial support to Memory spaces, which have been affected by the lack of budget from the National Government. This Wednesday, the CGT will meet with Taty Almeida, one of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, and other human rights leaders to address the situation of workers in these places.
The union intends to learn about the difficulties faced by employees and the functioning of Memory spaces, as well as to analyze the situation of the agencies linked to the National Secretariat of Human Rights. Any potential idea of financial cooperation would be discussed at the CGT Board of Directors, but for now, there are no concrete plans in this regard.
Recently, the Secretariat of Human Rights reported the closure of the Haroldo Conti Cultural Center, located in the former ESMA, due to an internal restructuring. Similarly, the National Government decided to stop funding the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo Association, arguing that the previous management had granted a significant subsidy to the organization.
"The previous government gave the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo the equivalent of what today would be $2.3 billion. For that reason, we decided to terminate the contract and end that scam," said Mariano Cúneo Libarona, Minister of Justice. In this context, the CGT seeks to understand the current situation of workers in Memory spaces and analyze possible measures to take in the future.
