Also at the event were Dr. Juan Maria Ramos Padilla, the referee from Argentina that declared the unconstitutionality of the Law of Due Obedience and worked hard in recovering stolen the identity of children during the dictatorship, and Paul Llonto, journalist and lawyer in criminal complainant against humanity.
The event began with the screening of a video made by Juan Martín Ramos Padilla and Camilo Cagni that tells the story of the house and that of its last occupants, Diana Teruggi, Daniel Mariani, small Clara Anahí, Daniel Mendiburu Eliçabe, Roberto César Porfidio, Juan Carlos Peiris and Oscar Alberto Bossio. Account the operation of a clandestine printing press that was published in the newspaper Evita montonera denouncing the actions of the dictatorship and whose motto was: "Talk low, but shut up. " That possibly was the cause that the operation of joint forces - the three weapons and the Buenos Aires police, attacked with such fury and such a display of simple home in La Plata. The audiovisual then alludes to the history of Chicha and their search, which was any and all grandchildren. The creation on November 21, 1977 Argentine Grandmothers grandbabies disappeared, later to be the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo. The organization traveled the world denouncing the systematic theft of babies and creativity, ingenuity and persistence located more than 60 children Mariani stolen while he presided over the entity. In each country he visited Chicha bought a doll for her granddaughter, library exposes currently pending meeting with his mistress. Royalty realize a young Chicha already clearly expressed the liberation means for people to recover their identity. It says: "The day of the first refund Paula was the Logan, grandmothers were crying thinking that the child would suffer, but it was not for nothing. The girl was inserted, naturally, he joined his family. " Paula Logan, who attended the ceremony, nodded. The images depict the immense contribution of Chicha Mariani to justice, which allowed, among other things, the first effective sentence to life imprisonment in a common jail after the annulment of the laws of Due Obedience and Full Stop Miguel Etchecolatz. And his current performance as a prosecutor in the trial of the systematic theft of babies plan. "I'm going to rest if I had to find the daughter of my son and Diana" question Chicha from the screen, "I'm going to walk until the last minute of my life seeking justice for his parents, justice for the disappeared and especially my granddaughter alive, because I know that they have it hidden somewhere."
At the end of the projection were made by the architects of the revaluation of the house, Ana and Fernando Otavianelli Gandolfi, detailed the painstaking work of restoration and preservation that led them to meet and Chicha search. The goal of two years of work was, as expressed, projected the testimony of the house of the future. Thank Nestor Kirchner, as president, prompted the declaration of housing as a national historic site. They thanked the gesture of giving the word to them, the filmmakers, which are uncommon in the inauguration ceremonies. Fernando Gandolfi added that "we face a paradox: on the one hand this is the work of our lives and on the other hand is the work that we would never have wanted to do." And said that "every person who worked here, we told him what had happened. Many know, but even those who did not know, in subsequent visits made guides. That message was made clear the house, as a material property that carries a history. The house never stopped talking, we share a responsibility for us to refine a little voice, to speak clearly and above all to vocalize for a long time. " Gandolfi shared a text that said: "I have 8 years of what happened the last three or four more or less remember. If others come to forget something important that happened while I was gone, then I'll never learn from that. "He concluded:" The idea is that it lasts for everyone to keep learning. "
Fatala Abel, Public Works Secretary's Office was the one who managed the signing the agreement, and the day of the reopening accompanied on his tour of the historic house Ophelia Wilhelm, the mother of the President's Office.
Elsa Pavón, in his capacity as President of the Foundation Anahí, summarized: "The reopening of the house is a dream come true."
The architect Martin Repetto, president of the National Commission of Museums, monuments and historic sites, noted that "this was the first declaration of Nestor Kirchner National Historic Landmark. Followed by other very important: the School of Naval Mechanics. We went to the past, where historical declare shot Dorrego, where you shot the General Valley. And Nestor Kirchner made a very important monument for the bombing of Plaza de Mayo. Clearly we want to fill the gaps, critical gaps, those of our 30,000 colleagues disappeared. "
The President of the Mothers, Hebe de Bonafini, said: "This city has given thousands of children revolutionaries, this city has given thousands of geniuses, the city gave a lot of blood. And those who made the horror they never imagined they would not be with us. Chicha I know for many years, we lived very close from the beginning. Always took care of all the grandchildren, yours too, of course. Never stopped working for everyone. Investigated, ran, walked, played, took pictures at the school gates when nobody had a camera out of fear. What he did is amazing, I still think our country will need to recognize what was ca Chicha make peace. It is a wise woman, play, working. We discussed of course, I'm very mad, and it is always prudent. I puteo and she says, "no Hebe and no. " But I love her, respect her. Yesterday we were too late with something very strong that we do on Tuesday, but Mother decided to stay here as he was a big commitment to come and tell everyone who will listen that she found many grandchildren and that consideration of the histocompatibility Chicha Mariani found.
Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman, founder of Human Rights based in New York, and chairman of the international centers for the report, said: "I came to act as a friend, not as Argentine Foreign Minister. Chicha came because we share not only the same attorney, but the same judgments against the same oppressors who attacked or violated the rights of our families. But recently, seeing the video, I realize that I have to stop me from somewhere else, a third place. Because from this house, which was printed montonera Evita, then came the first reports of human rights violations during the dictatorship. And I can say this because I remember arriving in newsrooms magazine montonera Evita, was in the newsroom. And those who did not want to, we could not or did not want to publish them, not because he was unaware, but because we wanted, we could not or did not know how. So, maybe next year here has to put a plaque that says that since this house was reported and fought with the information that is perhaps the best weapon against a dictatorship to tell the people what they is happening. Report, and this I will also, when the bigger the information media, is reporting less business. We know everyone who was ever in the information business. The latest big media They want to be obliged to report. The business is information, is among the information is what is done with the information. That is why during the military dictatorships are formed and the media focus, so it is that the monopoly with which we're always struggling, opposing or communicating or reporting that misinformation is what was formed during the military dictatorship . It was during the military dictatorship that could, in partnership with dictators s, with those who came here and shot the house and stole the granddaughter of Chicha, could steal a company whose owner was also from La Plata, which was the family Graiver. There, in the video, said that motto Evita montonera "Talk low, but not shut up." I think that now, in a democracy, we can speak out even though there are many who want us to shut up. So the commitment to those reported here do not tell others what is just speak up and not be silent. "
Lycian Caminatti, a friend of Diana Teruggi and Daniel Mariani, made a brief and emotional portrait of the militant groups.
The Secretary General of the Presidency, Oscar Parrilli, spoke: "The truth is that I'm proud to say that I am representing the President, Dr. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner asked me to come and be with you, to accompany, to support this important historical fact, not only for you, for the family and mothers, but for Argentina, and the history and memory of all Argentines. I also remember, I was trying to remember, I can not exactly at what time this subject came up Chicha Nestor and memory that more than one occasion in the vortex of all things, always asking me how's Nestor's house Chicha, you take care of Chicha, well certainly the truth for him was also a joy that we can check this today be doing and doing. So I also remember that because it seems an act of strict justice and marking a little time the Argentineans are living in this century. What happened I think it said it all. I just want to reflect things as they are now widely spoken in this tense Argentina, as some say. These partners were exercising a right, the right to freedom of the press, just that, trying to spread their ideas to a journal, a daily, weekly, anything to spread their ideas and also to denounce atrocities that occurred in Argentina at that time. But that was forbidden. That was the Argentina of the media today fill their mouths talking about press freedom in Argentina, that there is tension, there is no freedom. This is what we say to this because I think it is very important that we also look at the historical moment. No doubt today will not be encouraged to do something like this or use the methods they used at that time to pursue their economic interests. Because they were not military, uh, were not those who were killed here. Those responsible were the ones who sent it and they did their business and carry out a political, economic, social and cultural development in Argentina and they needed to take this forward. This does not do more because there is no room in the world and in Argentina, but that model, have no doubt that in them is current and constantly trying to repeat it, to do and implement it. And today, what they use, and use these weapons, who enjoy freedom and democracy, the press, the media, then you have no doubt that they will use it to divide us, to all who are in the field aggrieved people, insult, slander, lies so that we fight among ourselves, for we have differences, we look with suspicion, but deep down they want to do is to lose strength, lose cohesion, lose identity so that they can carry out these plans, these plans and these models. So believe that, at a time like this, we are with joy but also sadness recalling a sad fact, but putting in value what we have to keep in mind is what we must do today what we must do all that we are committed to this national model, popular with this government changes that recovers the best of history and ultimately taxes, we just want is that all Argentines live better and that all we improve our quality of life. And be alert, very attentive because they will try to keep dividing us, we still face, continue to create potential conflicts, injuries and grudges between us because that's the only way they have today to move forward because it is very big, very strong today and cultural awareness and understanding of the Argentine people in the defense of this model have been shown to have no other way forward that is not divided and separated us. I want to remember this time, remember these things we have mentioned, we have this the moment we are living so that this never happens again is never less than what we have to do. "
