Dora Marta Landi and Alejandro Logoluso, persecuted by Argentina's dictatorship, disappeared in 1977 while trying to escape to Brazil for political asylum in Europe. They needed fake passports from Paraguay. The dictatorship hunted them down, claiming they were part of a Peronist youth group. The military junta led by Jorge Rafael Videla committed human rights crimes during the 1976-1983 dictatorship. Argentina commemorates the victims of the dictatorship annually on the National Day of Memory for Truth and Justice, marching to prevent such atrocities from happening again. President Javier Milei and VP Victoria Villarruel's remarks challenging the history of the dictatorship sparked protests by thousands.
