The last Argentine dictatorship removed others like my paternal grandfather, Juan Domingo Salomón, a faithful Peronist who spoke out against the dictatorship of the army. In 1977, the police arbitrarily went to my grandfather’s premises and arrested him. To this day he is missing. He simply disappeared, no one knows the precise main points of his arrest or the months that followed.
They took my grandfather for his concepts and words. He refused to remain silent as the Argentine state and society collapsed around him. Prior to her arrest, she condemned violence related to military force and opposed those who used it to seize power. The stories of the 70s and 80s in Argentina are more than history classes; These are classes that can serve as cautionary symptoms and prescriptions for the future.

The key takeaway from “Argentina, 1985,” and the genuine life it describes, is to remain suspicious and vigilant in the face of a government that refuses to respect its citizens. Governments and regimes that undermine freedom are not trustworthy. In Argentina, the United States or anywhere in the world, society never reaches the point of a military coup, and this demands a distrustful and vigilant citizenry that reaffirms freedom and freedom on a daily basis. This requires citizens to shield the basic pillars of democracy. , in particular the democratic transition of power, freedom of expression and the rule of law.
The disorders described in “Argentina, 1985” are still relevant. The violent riots led by Bolsonaro supporters in neighboring Brazil illustrate why other people want to care about democracy and respect the election results. And, of course, there is January 6, 2021 in the United States, where he is all too clear that American democracy is not immune to anti-democratic threats from violent actors and populist leaders who are jeopardizing one of the most productive reports of freedom in human history.

Today, Argentina is going through disorders similar to a lack of economic freedom and a weak rule of law. Annual inflation is around 100%, one of the world’s rates. My country is home to more than 3,000 industrial unions, many of them in bed with government bureaucrats whose currency is corruption. At the same time, 55% of all registered staff are hired through the state, to the detriment of entrepreneurship, innovation and the growth of the personal sector.
Our response to such disorders is a relief in bureaucracy, the cover of the rule of law and the promotion of lax enterprise. The is laxity.
The overall message of “Argentina, 1985” is “Nunca Más”. And that’s how we all live our lives: we can never go back, let freedom, freedom, and other people suffer at the hands of the state.
