Río Tercero Marks 30 Years Since Factory Attack With Ceremonies and Remembrance Law

A Córdoba statute now requires half‑mast flags each 3 November alongside classroom teaching on the case.

Overview

  • Officials and residents held morning and evening tributes in Río Tercero, with Governor Martín Llaryora and Mayor Marcos Ferrer attending a mass and acts at the Paseo del Milagro and the Plazoleta de la Evocación.
  • The 2024 provincial Law 11.003 formalizes remembrance with flag protocol and curricular inclusion across initial, primary and secondary levels.
  • Courts determined the 1995 explosions were an intentional attack to hide illegal arms sales, leaving seven dead, more than 300 injured and extensive urban damage.
  • In 2014 four former Fabricaciones Militares executives were convicted for aggravated malicious destruction, and Carlos Menem was later convicted in the arms case but never imprisoned before his death in 2021.
  • Compensation has advanced slowly: the Defense Ministry reports 196 payments out of roughly 8,000 claims under Law 27.179, paid in bonds of about 8 million pesos each, with the Milei administration citing reorganization of thousands of dormant files.
