  • Argentina | Freedom House Page 1 of 5
    Argentina | Freedom House Page 1 of 5 Argentina freedomhouse.org Popular support for President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner continued its decline in 2014, due primarily to inflation and insecurity. Officials devalued the peso by 19 percent in January in order to shore up international currency reserves (which fell to a seven-year low in 2014), prompting a surge in inflation. An estimated 24 to 30 percent annual inflation rate during the year eroded the purchasing power of Argentines and increased the incentive to buy black market dollars. Inflation rose in spite of the government’s price watch agreement—Precios Cuidados (“protected prices”)—which mandated reduced prices on more than 150 products sold in the largest supermarket chains. Argentina also struggled with declining public safety in 2014 as the country played an increasing role in the international drug trade. In April, a 24-hour general strike by labor unions brought large portions of the country to a standstill, affecting public transportation and government offices, and threatening the movement of the soybean harvest. Strikers demanded higher pay, lower taxes, and an increase in living standards amid the rising inflation. The Fernández administration attempted to meet the country’s persistent economic uncertainty with pragmatism. By agreeing to a $5 billion settlement, the government resolved a two-year dispute with Repsol, a Spanish company whose controlling stake in an Argentine oil firm had been nationalized in 2012. The national statistics agency made efforts to increase transparency by reporting more credible inflation data, and the government exercised fiscal restraint by cutting expensive and unsustainable water and natural gas subsidies.

The present report discusses some events relating to human rights during the crisis. I. The Desa arecidos The government has not accounted for thousands of persons who disappeared between 1976 and 1981 after their arrest by security forces. A vague promise by Minister of the Interior Gen. Alfredo St. Jean in March, to the effect that some families would be in- formed privately of the fate of their relatives, has not been fol- lowed up. The methodology of disappearances, i.e. , kidnappings by plainclothesmen in unmarked cars, in broad daylight and with impressive display of weapons and violence, was used again during the height of the conflict; one American journalist and three British TV journalists were abducted from the street in downtown Buenos Aires in front of the Foreign Ministry, on May 11 and 12 . 87FI23 178/293 After a few hours, all of them were found alive in the suburbs, naked and stripped of their personal possessions.

In the most recent cases, a couple was convicted of kidnapping a baby born to parents who were disappeared by the military; a self-confessed torturer was detained on a request from Italy; and former dictator Jorge Rafael Videla (1976-1981) was ordered to stand trial for his role in Operation Condor (see NotiSur, 2000-07-07). Couple sentenced for baby stealing Retired Col. Ceferino Landa, 69, and his wife Mercedes Beatriz Moreira, 71, were sentenced on June 28 to 9 1/2 years and 5 1/2 years in prison respectively for the theft of a baby girl born to parents who were disappeared by the military. The couple was found guilty of kidnapping Claudia Victoria Poblete Hlaczik, whose parents were among the 15,000 to 30,000 people who were murdered or disappeared during the dictatorship.

I always say: I am crude, but I had a single act of lucidity in my life: that was to get into the Navy”. 1 Alfredo Astiz. “The crowd had grown. I seized the machete, I struck a first blow.

My passion for human rights pursuits in Latin America led me to exciting classes at Trinity College with Professor Cardenas and others, fostering my desire to learn more. Then, my time abroad in Argentina, experiencing the aftermath of the human rights atrocities that I have studied, became by far some of the most special and exciting times of my life. Words cannot describe what I learned in my time there and how I benefited from the experience. Thus, when it came time to choose a subject that would serve as a capstone to my experience with the Human Rights Major, justice in Argentina appeared as the perfect choice.
