March 24 march in 2023 (NA)
Within the framework of the commemoration of the Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice, which is celebrated every March 24 in Argentina, as reported by the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, various Human Rights organizations requested permission to carry out the commemorative event in Plaza de Mayo. Among them are the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo Association, Mothers of Plaza de Mayo Founding Line, Relatives of the Disappeared and Detained for Political Reasons, the HIJOS association and the Center for Legal and Social Studies (CELS).
This year marks 48 years since the 1976 coup d’état, a crucial moment in Argentine history that marked a dark period of violence and repression. In this context, the aforementioned groups have announced that the mobilization will take place from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. today, starting from the former ESMA towards the city center and culminating with an event in Plaza de Mayo. .
To guarantee order and security during the mobilization, the Ministry of City Security will deploy an operation that will include the presence of members of the City Police, Traffic and Prevention Agents. Scheduled cuts have been established in different streets and avenues, mainly in the southbound lanes, with the aim of facilitating the development of the march and the arrival of protesters to Plaza de Mayo. During the route, traffic interruptions are expected at several strategic points, such as Bullrich Avenue and Santa Fe Avenue in the direction of Plaza de Mayo, at different established times.

It is important to highlight that, in addition to the mobilization, Human Rights organizations plan to carry out other significant activities. In front of Casa Rosada, at 2:00 p.m., a document critical of the current government and its policies in various areas will be read, within the framework of the anniversary of the civic-military coup d’état.
The march, as usual, will be divided into two parts that represent different political and social sectors. On the one hand, there are the main references of Human Rights such as Mothers and Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, HIJOS, supported by social and union movements, as well as the presence of groups such as La Cámpora. Later there will be left-wing organizations grouped in the Memory, Truth and Justice Meeting, which will read a document in Plaza de Mayo at 4:30 p.m.
Call for Catholic entities for the March 24 march
Furthermore, in a context that seeks to keep the memory alive and honor those who were persecuted during the dictatorship, the first presentation of people who were persecuted for their commitment from the Catholic Church will take place, in a tent installed in Plaza de Mayo next to the Cabildo. . This initiative seeks to make visible the stories and faces of those who fought for justice and were victims of persecution and martyrdom.
This particular call was made by different organizations and entities, such as the Team of Priests of Villas and Popular Neighborhoods of Argentina, Familia Grande Hogar de Cristo, the Human Rights Secretariat of the CGT, Pastoral Villera and the Nueva Tierra Center, among others, who join the day of reflection and commemoration planned for today.
