A delegation from the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo will meet EU officials in Brussels to secure support for expanded DNA testing for missing children linked to Argentina's military dictatorship. They aim to combat the government's defunding of institutions like the National Commission for the Right to Identity amidst economic reforms initiated by President Javier Milei. Their trip also seeks potential new funding sources to continue efforts in identifying children of the disappeared, many of whom might be living in Europe, given the state's historical records of forced adoptions during the dictatorship.
"Under the guise of economic reform, the Argentine government is taking the opportunity to dismantle and defund many of the institutions dedicated to searching for the disappeared."
"For more than 20 years, the Abuelas have received state funding to continue the search for their kidnapped grandchildren, because the state has a duty to find the disappeared."
