Yesterday, 24 de Marzo, was Día de la Memoria, the anniversary of the group that started the dictatorial rule of the Proceso in 1976. This is not a celebratory holiday but rather one of mourning and discontentment. Under the Proceso dictatorship there was much corruption, including the "disappearance" of over 30,000 people during the "Dirty War" (remember Los Madres de La Plaza de Mayo?).
Nevertheless, today was still a day off for many. At around 5pm, commenced a rally and parade at La Plaza de Mayo. The following are the few pictures I was able to take without getting crushed by the masses.
This is a shot of a group marching down Avenieda de Mayo.
The big writing in white reads: "They could not extinguish such fire."
This is a picture of a well-known mural right off one of the Avenieda de Mayo Subte stops. I need to retake it in the sun.
