Milei Draws Human Rights Rebukes Over 'Nunca Más' Campaign Slogan

Human rights defenders warn that twisting the emblematic slogan risks undermining Argentina’s commitment to memory, truth, justice

Overview

  • President Javier Milei opened his La Libertad Avanza campaign in Villa Celina on August 8 with a banner reading “Kirchnerismo: Nunca Más,” styled in the original CONADEP report typography
  • Estela de Carlotto, president of Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, denounced the move as immoral and offensive, accusing the administration of deliberate provocation
  • The Defensoría del Pueblo of Santiago del Estero issued an official repudiation, urging respect for the phrase’s nonpartisan and historical significance
  • Matías Moreno, Buenos Aires subsecretary for human rights, said the political reuse of ‘Nunca Más’ threatens the nation’s hard-won process of memory, truth and justice
  • No government retraction has been issued despite mounting calls from human rights leaders and institutions to preserve the integrity of the CONADEP report and Juicio a las Juntas legacy
