A 49-year-old man has been reunited with his family after being taken as a newborn by Argentina's military. He was identified through a DNA test by the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, an organization seeking justice for those affected by the regime between 1976 and 1983. The man’s parents were abducted in 1976, and he was raised by military families. His sister, who was a child when their parents were taken, celebrated their reunion as a significant moment for the family and acknowledged the support of their organization in this collective effort.
A man taken from his mother as a newborn by Argentina's military has been reunited with his relatives after almost 50 years, identified after taking a DNA test.
The man is the son of Graciela Alicia Romero and Raul Eugenio Metz, who were both kidnapped by the military in December 1976 and disappeared.
During a press conference, Metz celebrated their reunion as the beginning of a new chapter for their family, emphasizing the importance of collective search efforts.
