The Government of Javier Milei announced it will proceed to declassify secret documents related to the presence of Nazis in Argentina after World War II.
The measure aligns with what was communicated hours earlier by the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, who reported in a video that the SIDE will deliver to the National General Archive all the existing documentation on the actions of the Armed Forces during the last military dictatorship.
The Chief of Staff, Guillermo Francos, explained in an interview with DNews that the decision to release documents about the Nazis arose after President Milei received representatives of the Simon Wiesenthal Center at Casa Rosada.
During the meeting, they delivered a letter from U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley, from the Senate Judiciary Committee, requesting Argentina's cooperation in his investigation.
It is publicly known that, in the late 1940s, under the leadership of Juan Domingo Perón, the Argentine government quietly allowed the entry of several Nazi war criminals fleeing Europe after the collapse of the German regime.
