Strong criticism of Human Rights organizations for their silence before the arrival of Nicolás Maduro to the country

The arrival of Nicolás Maduro to the country, within the framework of the Celac summit on Tuesday, motivated numerous questions from opposition leadersas well as from abroad, but also a striking silence of local Human Rights organizations.

They have become a sector demanding factious human rights. What matters is always looking back, towards the ’70s, without projecting the future of Argentina at all, with Human Rights as a whole,” said the general auditor and benchmark for Together for Change in statements to Rivadavia radio.

consulted by Clarionthe head of the Civic Coalition, Maximilian Ferrarosaid: “It is a silence that hurts and worries. Human rights violations in Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua are serious.

In recent days there have been few expressions from human rights leaders before the visit of these leaders to the country. One of them was the Argentine Forum for democracy in the regionwho titled “Dictators never again” a spot that he spread on social networks.

“For a country like Argentina, which does not forget the horrors of its own dictatorship, these visits are an offense. For thousands of migrants, expelled by these same dictators, these visits are an insult and a provocation,” they maintain in the short.

There, they also criticize the Cuban regime for having political prisoners “since Fidel Castro came to power in 1959”, the “repressive and bloody situation, responsible for more than 300 murders in the 2018 protests” in Nicaragua and the violation of human rights in Venezuela, denounced by international organizations in the Court of The Hague.

The members of Fader asked President Alberto Fernández to suspend the invitations to Maduro, Díaz-Canel and Ortega. “They are not welcome here. Stop this! Understand that in Argentina, “never again” means… never again!”, they conclude.
