| Sumario: | In the following interview, with Angélica Escayola, we go through the social climate of the 1960s and 1970s in the province of Mendoza, her work as a lawyer who defended people detained during the “Mendozazo”, and the transformations and displacements that occurred during those years, from the figure of infiltration to that of subversion. Angélica Escayola, together with her partner Alfredo Guevara, were for decades leading lawyers in the fight for Human Rights and for Memory, Truth and Justice in Mendoza. In 1975 they had to exile first to Peru and then to Mexico. Upon their return to the country, in 1984, Angélica and Alfredo resumed their work as lawyers linked to the defense of human rights, a task that Angélica continues today from the Association of Surviving Women of Dictatorships for Memory and from the feminist collective “Ni Una Menos”. |
