The documents that have been seized and delivered to the union movement will allow “understanding the practices of State terrorism, how the Intelligence services and their registration and surveillance mechanisms worked, contributing to the construction of memory.
This is a first stage in which it is hoped to deepen to “return to the entire society the materials denouncing authoritarianism that remained locked up in said files.”
“Today, in a context of profound setbacks, is when the demand for memory, truth and justice is most urgent and necessary,” expressed the workers’ union and human rights organizations.
Resistance to state terrorism
Mothers and Relatives of the Detained-Disappeared recalled that the workers on that early morning of June 27, 1973, when Parliament was dissolved and the Armed Forces officially took power, began the General Strike that lasted 15 days. “They resisted state terrorism, factories, plants and study centers occupied as it was arranged since 1964 by the National Convention of Workers (CNT)”.
Likewise, they remember that students, workers, and the entire town were persecuted. They experienced atrocities perpetrated by those in power, human rights violations for resisting the repressive forces, for fighting for a more just world.
