Argentina: Many Business Leaders Participated in Military Junta

  • 8 years ago
A new bill introduced in Argentina’s Congress proposes an investigation of the complicity between the country’s economic establishment and its last dictatorship. The bill endorsed by the ruling Front for Victory party is strongly supported by human rights groups and criticized by business leaders. Important figures in the business world became officials of the 1976 military junta, such as José Alfredo Martinez de Hoz, an official in several major national and international corporations, suggesting close ties between state terror and the neoliberal model adopted at the time.
