“… yesterday’s enemies are in power and from there, they are trying to establish a Marxist regime.”
As quoted in Alexei Barrionuevo (23 December 2010). "Argentina: Ex-Dictator Sentenced in Murders". The New York Times.
Jorge Rafael Videla Redondo foi um general argentino que ocupou de facto a presidência de seu país entre 1976 e 1981. Chegou ao poder em um golpe de estado que depôs a presidente María Estela Martínez de Perón.
Seu período no poder esteve marcado por violações aos direitos humanos e por uma disputa fronteiriça com o Chile, que esteve a ponto de se tornar um conflito armado. A democracia foi restaurada no país em 1983 e, em 22 de novembro de 2010, Videla foi julgado, condenado a prisão perpétua e destituído da patente militar pela morte de 31 prisioneiros que ocorreram após seu golpe de estado.
