Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo Identifies 138th Grandchild Born in ESMA, First Case Under Milei
Dec 27, 2024, 09:16 PM
The human rights organization Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo announced the identification of their 138th grandchild, who was stolen during Argentina's dictatorship from 1976 to 1983. The grandchild, born in December 1976 at the ESMA, a notorious clandestine detention center, is the child of Marta Enriqueta Pourtalé and Juan Carlos Villamayor, a couple of political militants who were kidnapped on December 10, 1976, when Pourtalé was eight and a half months pregnant. The couple was last seen at the ESMA, where more than 30 births are believed to have occurred. The grandchild, a lawyer, who has a brother named Diego born in 1972, was identified through DNA testing after 47 years of search. This discovery marks the first case resolved under the presidency of Javier Milei, who has questioned the historical treatment of the dictatorship. Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo continues to search for approximately 300 more grandchildren born during their mothers' captivity.
