On this day

On 10th December 1983, Raul Alfonsin assumed the presidency of Argentina after seven years of military rule.

Here's a picture of a street scene in Buenos Aires from 1968 that I found on Facebook, producing a comment section full of indignation about the way the man is looking at the woman.

It may well be that the bloke is simply admiring a pretty woman in a summer dress.

December 3rd 1990, the carapintadas (painted faces) launched a mutiny against the government - Remember Aldo Rico?

One of their tanks ran over a bus killing several passengers and in the end they mutineers were all arrested.

Go incognito if you hit a paywall.

Wednesday 24th March is a public holiday marking that day in 1976 when the military junta took control of Argentina. In fact it's the 45th anniversary this year and I was living in Martinez at the time, so remember that day very well.

This is certainly worth a read, giving many more details about the build up to the coup - a day in fact which was very calm afterwards with many people relieved it had happened.
