This coming March 24th will not be just another anniversary. They are fulfilled 50 years of the 1976 coup d’état and, under the slogan «50 years later, scarves will flourish», Argentina is preparing for a day that promises to be massive in the Plaza de Mayo and in all the squares of the country, including key points such as The Silver and the interior.
A round and symbolic anniversary
The figure of 50 years marks a change of era. With the majority of the genocide perpetrators already tried or deceased, and with the Mothers and Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo in a stage of generational transfer, the focus of this 2026 is on the youth.
- The legacy: The campaign seeks to make the white scarf not only a symbol of the past, but an active flag of current rights.
- The call: The mobilization is expected to break attendance records, uniting historical organizations with social and student movements.
The critical view: Memory in times of debate
However, this anniversary comes in a particular political context, where the consensus on what happened half a century ago seems to be under fire:
- The dispute over the story: Sectors of the current political arc have once again questioned figures and responsibilities, which has generated a defensive and more intense reaction on the part of Human Rights organizations.
- The role of the State: While the ruling party maintains a position of «historical review», the organizations denounce a lack of financing in areas of preservation of memory sites.
- Memory or Justice? After 50 years, the debate revolves around whether Argentine society has already processed its trauma or if the wounds remain open due to the lack of answers about the fate of many of the disappeared.
Activities in CABA and La Plata: Cultural vigils are planned from the night of the 23rd, with artistic interventions that seek to «bloom» public spaces with the image of the handkerchief.
The meaning of «Flourish»
The metaphor of flowers and handkerchiefs tries to convey that, despite the passage of time, the search for identity (represented by the recovery of grandchildren) and the demand for justice are still valid. It is a reminder that democracy, although consolidated, requires a constant exercise of memory to avoid repeating cycles of violence.
This March 24, the streets of Argentina will once again be the scene of one of the largest demonstrations of political and social identity in the world. 50 years later, the echo of «Anymore» resonates with renewed strength.
