Javier Milei attends 32nd anniversary of AMIA bombing

President Javier Milei participated Friday in the 32nd anniversary commemoration of the terrorist bombing of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA), a devastating attack that occurred on July 18, 1994, at the organization's headquarters in Buenos Aires' Once neighborhood, claiming 85 lives.

The ceremony took place under a significant security operation, with traffic closures implemented on Pasteur, Azcuénaga, and Uriburu streets between Córdoba and Corrientes avenues. Milei had confirmed his attendance days earlier at the memorial site on Pasteur street, where the AMIA headquarters was rebuilt after the attack. The Presidency indicated he would be accompanied by his sister, Secretary General of the Presidency Karina Milei, along with Chief of Staff Diego Santilli and Senate bloc leader Patricia Bullrich.

Upon arrival, Bullrich spoke to LN+, stating, “It is a day to remember the sadness and also the rebellion against terrorism. And on the other hand, this is being judged, and it is a transcendental step in the history of the failed trials; the truth will be reached. It is very good that the President is coming; few have come.”

Since taking office in December 2023, Milei has attended all commemoration events. As on previous occasions, he was expected to be in the front rows, facing the stage, to stand with the families in their demand for justice. The security operation involved members from various divisions of the Argentine Federal Police (PFA) and Casa Militar, the mixed civilian and uniformed body responsible for presidential security, according to LA NACION.
