The president of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, Estela de Carlotto, announced this Wednesday the restitution of the identity of the recovered grandson 132, named Juan, son of Mercedes del Valle Morales, detained-disappeared in 1976 in Tucumán.
As explained, the man is still looking for his paternal genetic identity. The newly recovered grandson participated in the press conference from Tucumán via Zoom.
Carlotto expressed the “enormous joy” of the new restitution – just a week after announcing that of grandson 131 – at a press conference given at the House for Identity in the Memory and Human Rights Space, in the exEsma, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Núñez.
On social networks, the Grandmothers stated that “2022 thus ends with the resolution of a new case that renews the hopes of this path of truth, memory, justice and identity” and pointed out that: “We hope that 2023 will welcome us with many more encounters”.
the grandson 131
Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo had announced last Thursday the restitution of the identity of grandson 131 and on that occasion, the head of the organization, Estela de Carlotto, maintained that the fact “gives us hope of finding those who are missing.”
There, he maintained that grandson number 131 is the son of the PTR-ERP militants from Mendoza, Lucía Nadin and Aldo Quevedo, who were kidnapped in 1977 and taken to the “Club Atlético” Clandestine Detention Center in the city of Buenos Aires.
In a press conference, Carlotto specified that Nadin was two or three months pregnant when she was kidnapped in 1977 and that there are suspicions that the birth could have occurred at the Navy Mechanical School (ESMA).
He also commented on that occasion that Nadin and Quevedo were from Mendoza, that they met at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Cuyo, and that they were members of the PTR-ERP.
