Note in Lancet about denialist + revisionist Milei. After questioning the number of victims during campaign, Milei follows through by shutting down ex-ESMA. Has also shut down dept for anti-gender violence in related far-right attacks against health and human rights

Offline: Argentina—demanding remembrance
An urgent plea to all concerned with the defence of health and human rights: the Argentine government's decision to close the Haroldo Conti Cultural Centre at the Escuela de Mecánica de la Armada in Buenos Aires from Jan 2, 2025, is an act of violence against the families of 30 000 victims who were murdered by Argentina's 1976–83 military junta. It is a decision that must be reversed if Argentina is to retain credibility as a nation concerned with protecting and advancing the wellbeing of its citizens.
