Guillermo Francos summoned by the Chamber of Deputies in investigation of alleged digital scam with crypto currency promoted by President Javier Milei on his X account. 'El Eternauta' series premieres, work of Argentine writer Héctor Oesterheld, disappeared during the military dictatorship (1976-1983).
Francos appears within the investigative commission approved in the Lower House to follow the implications of President Javier Milei's promotion of the $LIBRA cryptocurrency on his X account, which plummeted almost immediately after launch. First time in 30 years such a citation of a national official has occurred.
"We hope to begin to have a line of how the process that gave rise to President Milei's 'diffusion' of the cryptocurrency, which minutes later, was shown to be a scam. We must make transparent the protocols for people who receive the president, who can access him and thus protect Argentina's image," said Danya Tavela, national deputy of the Democracy for Always bloc to Cara o ceca.
Tavela added: "The formation of the commission is divided between those who want to iron out the issue and those of us who seek to know what happened, provide the information we can collect to the Justice system and that the latter determine if there was fraud."
Finally, Tavela spoke about the differences within the party of the Civic Radical Union, her political party of origin: "We separated because it lost its identity at the hands of Rodrigo De Loredo [the current head of the bloc]. From the beginning we said that radicalism must form a progressive space that does not approach the extremes," she concluded.
'El Eternauta' launches, whose author disappeared during the dictatorship.
El Eternauta is an Argentine science fiction comic that narrates the invasion of Earth by extraterrestrials, who begin their attack with a toxic snowstorm that annihilates a large part of the population.
The story centers on Juan Salvo and his family, who survive a catastrophe and face the situation, along with other survivors, in a devastated Buenos Aires.
On April 30, the audiovisual adaptation of the comic written by Héctor Germán Oesterheld, which marked an era and became part of the country's collective imagination, premieres. But behind the pen that wrote it is a family history marked by militancy, the dictatorship and the forced disappearance of people.
In 1977, Oesterheld was kidnapped and disappeared by task forces of the military, who had already taken the lives of his four daughters, who belonged to the Montoneros organization: Diana, Beatriz, Estela and Marina. Two of them pregnant.
"We had to reconstruct the history of a devastated family. The only one alive was the mother of the daughters. The reconstruction meant rejoining the memory, the one that the dictatorship managed to destroy. That memory erased by state terrorism included hidden identities and broken links," said Fernanda Nicolini, co-author of Los Oesterheld, who visited the Sputnik studios.
"The story of the Oesterhelds cannot be understood without the intersection between politics, culture and family. Héctor was a press worker, screenwriter, who united militancy with Peronism," she said.
"Later, in 1976, the author worked on a second part with a new character: Germán, a reflection of himself. Shortly after, he disappeared in 1977; at the end of that year that second part was published. His daughter María, who had disappeared, was later murdered. She is the only daughter whose body could be recovered," she concluded.
