Estela de Carlotto Calls Milei “a Monster” in Fresh Warning on Argentina’s Democracy

She framed funding cuts to memory programs as part of a broader slide in civil liberties.

Overview

  • Speaking on El Destape Radio on Nov. 12, the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo leader said Javier Milei commits unpunished offenses and is wrecking the country morally and economically.
  • She described Argentina as a “dirty democracy” defined by inequality, impunity and a fear that discourages civic participation.
  • Carlotto condemned recent security crackdowns on demonstrations against pension reforms, citing scenes of retirees being beaten.
  • Her remarks referenced October legislative results that expanded the presence of Milei-aligned blocs, including La Libertad Avanza and Fuerza Patria, as part of a troubling political context.
  • She reiterated that the state has failed to finance memory, truth and justice initiatives and confirmed a March 24, 2026 vigil to mark 50 years since the 1976 coup.
