and on, but more surprisingly enough, not the color of Massera wiki does not talk about their achievements or their medals. Good point to Wikipedia in this case.
Jorge Rafael Videla was tried yesterday in Cordoba for 31 crimes, something like 1 per thousand reality. And he was imprisoned by life imprisonment in an ordinary prison in Cordoba.
I feel weird.
I must admit I did not imagine this outcome because the power these gentlemen is much larger than it really any of us, even more exaggerated, to imagine, and really meant that although they would not pardon power because the country is literally going to catch fire, we were going to give one of those stupid sentences of house arrest or something like that, but no. They put him in jail. And in ordinary prison. I must admit I was not expecting. Especially coming from this government, which always makes me angry because it makes me feel that everything he does or says is only just and not seem so. I must admit this point to Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. Justice was finally done. Thank you, Madam President.
must be recognized unless the type of banking. Did that of Massera or Patti ( "I'm sick, I'm senile, I do not understand what you say, sir judge ... - surrounded by nurses and oxygen tubes ) The type, true to his convictions, stood up at the venue and, microphone in the snout, given their ( macabre ) views of what "really " occurred during the dictatorship, which. And the bank. Without shelter in any disease absurd.
would have been more fair justice this if Jorge Rafael Videla had been imprisoned in 1983 , and would have been gratifying to see these prisoner 27 years that passed. Jorge Rafael Videla has 85 years, there are many ahead of him despite his impeccable condition health. But in prison. And you pay your mistakes in life, something that never happened with so many others. As I like to say a few friends, and here I share: There is little .
This great news demonstrates that we are growing and that there is a light, however tiny it is, at the end of the road makes me wonder, and answer, as always:
"These years in prison ahead of Jorge Rafael Videla will serve to contemplate his past and repent? not.
she understand that it has distorted their idea of \u200b\u200bwhat is home? not.
inside it change the slogan "That was a internal war "and contemplate that eradicated from the face of the republic for twenty years (2 generations ) by the thought of a better country for fear of reprisals? not.
you be able to accept such " internal war" waged against violent groups that are tasked to fight for a country than did priming exterminated from the face of the republic to every human being who wished, peacefully, claim for his due? not.
Will finally time to assimilate that destroyed forever the families of the 30,000 Argentines who did it disappear? not.
she understand that all he did during his mandate scary distorted by several decades the way that Argentina should have taken at that time? not.
makes no sense. Jorge Rafael Videla
never understood what he did, because he is blind in his convictions.
But at least pay 5 or 10 years in prison. In an ordinary prison. With an age inappropriate for such a trip.
