President Javier Milei's administration has started closing art and cultural centers in Argentina, aiming to erase the narratives of victims from the dictatorship era led by Jorge Rafael Videla. This includes attacks on the ESMA Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site dedicated to the victims of state terrorism. With over 30,000 people disappeared during Videla's regime, Milei is trying to recast this brutal history into a narrative of civil conflict. Meanwhile, employees at the Cultura centre express frustration over layoffs and lack of communication with the government regarding their future.
"Since President Milei took office, there has been a systematic effort to erase the stories of victims from Argentina's dark history, particularly regarding the dictatorship of Jorge Rafael Videla."
"Employees at the Conti have been stonewalled in their attempts to communicate with the government about the future of the cultural centre, resulting in layoffs and the centre's continued closure."
