Before the ceremony, the minister received both leaders of Human Rights in his office, where he discussed the national situation, the agenda of Grandmothers and Mothers and the joint activities between the organizations.

During the event, Guzmán highlighted the role of the Mothers as “an example of unwavering struggle”, while acknowledging the importance of having their names in a room where decisions are made in order to build a “space in which workers and workers can be part of a project to take care of us as a nation. “

“They are part of the historical memory of our country, which is important to have so that situations like the one we went through do not happen again. And the same from the economy: we always say never again to unsustainable indebtedness,” said Guzmán.

For her part, Taty Almeida recalled that “the hope is you, the young, with that wonderful militancy like the one our children had. We must not be afraid of that word: militancy means commitment and companionship; it is to take care of the other, as the did my Alejandro and the 30,000 “.

Finally, Estela de Carlotto asked “to take care of and strengthen democracy” and gave Guzmán a handkerchief from the Grandmothers: “to give him strength in everything he has to do and fight. To accompany you. When you are worried, take out the handkerchief and say ‘come on, help me’, and the Mothers and Grandmothers will be there, “he said.

In this context, they reported that the change of the name of the Hall is due to a decision of the Ministry of Economy to rename the halls of the Palacio de Hacienda for emblematic women of Argentina.

The activity is also part of the eve of the National Day of the Right to Identity, which is commemorated on October 22 and was instituted as of 2004.

Along these lines, this year, Abuelas celebrates its 44th anniversary with the launch of the national campaign “Blooms Identity” with the aim of making visible the search for the 300 grandchildren stolen by the civic-military dictatorship that have yet to be found.

To the proposal is added, in addition, that of the workers of the Union of Civil Personnel of the Nation (UPCN), who participated with the placement of a commemorative plaque in gratitude to the Association Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, to the Mothers Plaza de Mayo and the Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán.
