SÃO PAULO, Brazil – In Argentina, the Catholic Church is one of the most active institutions resisting President Javier Milei’s policy of dismantling efforts to memorialise the military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983), according to a leading sociologist.

Over the past few months, the libertarian Milei has implemented several measures to reduce the social relevance of state institutions created since the 1980s to safeguard documents and historical items connected to the regime, which claimed at least 30,000 lives.
