"The REPARATION is THROUGH JUSTICE"
Mothers, Grandmothers and Relatives of the disappeared indicated that the repressors continue to deny information. Graciela Fernandez Meijide confirmed that she will attend the meeting but that there CAN BE NO “RECONCILATION" if there is no "awareness of the DAMAGE THAT WAS CAUSED".
The president of the Argentine Episcopal Conference (CEA), José MarÃa Arancedo, escudó in the Pope Francisco to emphasize the "attitude of the Church to promote a culture of the encounter and to strengthen ties of social friendship" and to justify the new attempt of the The highest authority of the Catholic Church in the country to "reconcile" victims and perpetrators of state terrorism. He did so in the homily that opened last night a new plenary assembly of the body, number 113, in which the bishops of the whole country will hear "testimonies of relatives of people who suffered the consequences of this period marked by violence in different areas of the society". This was reported by the Episcopate in a statement in which it avoided referring to relatives of the disappeared during the last military dictatorship and to groups that fight for the "complete memory", mainly composed of relatives and friends of repressors convicted and prosecuted for crimes against humanity. The initiative was flatly rejected by human rights organizations. "Now they come to ask for reconciliation? They should tell the genocidal military to go to court to declare the whole truth about our children, "warned Nora Cortiñas, Mother of Plaza de Mayo of the founding line. The president of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo said in the same line: "We do not have to reconcile with anyone; I did not wrong anyone; I was wronged with the murder of my daughter and the theft of my grandson, "he remarked. Grandmothers are still looking for more than 300 appropriate babies during state terrorism.

"This part of the Church handles a level of total hypocrisy," Cortiñas said. Without including the Church of "the option for the poor, who worked in the villages, who dreamed as our sons and daughters for a better country, and for that reason lost members in the hands of the monsters of state terrorism," Mother Of Plaza de Mayo rejected any possibility of participating in the initiative of "reflection on the events occurred during the last military dictatorship" that the CEA posed as the axis of its new plenary assembly and as the first step of "a way of dialogue between the bishops In the framework of the culture of the meeting and social friendship, "as described in the announcement of the plenary that will take place in Pilar and will last five days.
During the opening of the meeting, Arancedo confirmed the idea. "We have become accustomed to a culture of confrontation, violence and anomie that weakens us as a nation," he challenged. It was covered in Pope Francis and his reference to a "new evangelization that encourages every baptized to be an instrument of pacification and credible testimony of a reconciled life" and mentioned that the "mission of the Church" is "to contribute with his word to a Culture of the meeting and strengthen ties of social friendship ". "It is not a naive look but to put man at the center of the social question, and see it as responsible for the very reality and institutions of the Republic, which are the necessary mediation in a state of law and within the framework of A life in democracy. This attitude makes us protagonists of a future that commits us, "he concluded.
Methodology of social friendship
According to a brief press document, CEA said that the "reflection time" that will open in the plenary "will be limited to listening to some testimonies of relatives of people who suffered the consequences of this period marked by violence in different areas of The society ", reason why they discard" exchange between the participants ". They mentioned that "a limited number of people have been invited to have sufficient time to narrate their experiences." One of them is Graciela Fernández Meijide, who confirmed to the newspaper that she accepted the invitation with the clarification that they "accept" in the Episcopate their position of "rejection of any possibility of reconciliation until there is the slightest demonstration of conscience of the harm that Provoked the other party, "he said. "They accepted and said they are only collecting testimonies, which will take them as a year," he added.
Grandmothers, Mothers and Relatives of the disappeared, meanwhile, rejected the initiative. "There is no possible dialogue with those who kidnapped, tortured and disappeared our sons and daughters; With whom they deny information about their final destination; With whom they know where they are the more than 300 grandchildren who are still slaves of the lie and, to 40 years of their appropriation, continue to live under a false identity ", they responded from Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo. Graciela Lois, of Families of Disappeared and Arrested for Political Reasons, reinforced the argument: "It is ridiculous to propose a dialogue in terms of equality of conditions between parties that clearly do not have them. Our missing people were victims of State terrorism, of a State that was in the hands of these people with whom the Church invites us to reconcile. "
"It's nonsense," Carlotto said. "How are we going to talk? What we have to do is comply with democracy and what we ask for: truth, memory and justice, "he continued. Lois also spoke of the historical request: "It is impossible for us to dialogue when our claims of Memory, Truth and Justice were not satisfied. Because memory we build it by force of struggle, Justice reaches a dropper and a minority and none of us have the truth of how, where and why our have disappeared. Carlotto completed the sense of reflection: "We had the patience to wait 40 years. “Genocide was committed and it was declared a crime against humanity. We must seek reparation through justice and respect for absolute truth. "
