San Telmo Torchlight March 2026 - 50 Years Since The Civic-military-ecclesiastical Coup
A torchlight march takes place in San Telmo and Montserrat, Argentina, on March 21, 2026. The event is organized collectively through open meetings with participation from independent residents and various political, social, and human rights groups from the neighborhoods. The slogan for the march is ''50 Years After the Civic-Military-Ecclesiastical Coup,'' as agreed upon by the organizers to honor disappeared residents and activists. The march includes stops at the Espacio para la Memoria ''Virrey Cevallos'' and the Asamblea Popular Plaza Dorrego, concluding at the Site of Memory ex CCDTyE ''Club Atletico.'' The event features a reading of a text addressing the current political and social situation, followed by the symbolic ''Lighting of the Silhouette'' to represent victims of state terrorism.
