On a Lionel Messi free kick Jose Guerra parries it away. Another free kick for Argentina but nothing comes of it. This time it's centre-back Edgardo Farina for a foul on Lautaro Martinez outside the box. Lionel Messi's free kick strikes another off the post and after Leandro Paredes whiffs, Almada puts it home from a tight angle. It's the sub Thiago Almada who scores it and he gets his first in an Argentina jersey! Panama (5-4-1, right to left): 12-Guerra (GK) — 2-I.

Aún así, Gómez cree que los discursos negacionistas sobre la dictadura son minoritarios y existe “un umbral que no se puede traspasar, un límite que aparece cuando hay provocaciones como el fallo del 2x1 de la Corte Suprema”, que pretendió beneficiar a los detenidos por delitos de lesa humanidad sin condena definitiva. “Ese libro miente sobre las indemnizaciones, pero hay que tener cuidado porque la gente a veces se queda con esa idea”, señala la abogada Paula Viafora en el marco de las jornadas sobre negacionismo celebradas en la antigua Escuela Superior de Mecánica de la Armada, Esma. Cuando juró su cargo como diputada, Villarruel lo hizo en nombre de “las víctimas del terrorismo”, lo que desató un debate en las fuerzas más progresistas sobre la conveniencia de presentar un proyecto contra el negacionismo del terrorismo de Estado. El escritor, que había sido invitado por el diputado macrista Alberto Assef, describe entre sus páginas casos de supuestas falsas víctimas de la última dictadura y critica la falta de transparencia en el pago de las indemnizaciones concedidas por el Estado. Hace sólo cinco años, un fallo de la Corte Suprema que beneficiaba a un represor con una reducción de condena provocó una de las manifestaciones de repudio más grandes de la historia del país y nunca llegó a aplicarse.

In his first game for Argentina since winning the 2022 World Cup, Lionel Messi scored a free kick on Thursday to log his 800th career goal.

The free kick gave him 99 and his first goal for Argentina in 2023. He finished second in the Golden Boot race trailing only fellow PSG teammate Kylian Mbappe, who scored eight. Then he added 29 (and counting) after moving to Paris Saint-Germain in 2021-22.

Ganar la Copa del Mundo antes de cumplir los 22 años, en lo que respecta al club, no ha cambiado nada de eso. “Ser parte de esa victoria histórica, la forma en que jugó el equipo y el hecho de que él fuera parte de eso lo ha ayudado enormemente”, dijo Alonso. “Sigue siendo el mismo chico profesional, maduro para su edad, pero cuando compartes vestuario con Messi antes de una final de la Copa del Mundo, vas a aprender un poco sobre qué decir y cuándo decirlo”, dijo Pineda. Al final del amistoso de la selección contra Panamá en Buenos Aires, Messi presentó el trofeo de la Copa del Mundo a la multitud. Xabi Alonso, campeón del mundo con España en 2010 y en la actualidad entrenador de Palacios en el Leverkusen, ha notado que el joven de 24 años tiene un poco más de “confianza en lo que ha logrado” en su carrera desde que regresó de Catar. Son conscientes de que es un triunfo que tal vez no puedan igualar y que, sin duda, no podrán olvidar: Emiliano Martínez, el portero, ha señalado que “la gente no para de decirme que ya conseguí lo más importante en el fútbol”. “Pero sigue con los pies en la tierra. El jueves 23 de marzo, la selección saltó al campo por primera vez desde que ganó la Copa del Mundo en Catar, vistiendo camisetas orgullosamente bordadas con tres estrellas. Thiago Almada, quien a sus 21 años es el miembro oficial más joven de la selección argentina, encontró algo similar esperándolo en el Atlanta United. “Le organizamos un túnel y le dediqué unas palabras frente al equipo”, dijo Gonzalo Pineda, entrenador de Atlanta. El mediocampista Exequiel Palacios pasó parte de su primer día de vuelta en el Bayer Leverkusen firmándoles autógrafos a sus compañeros. Messi y sus compañeros de la selección argentina se han reunido por primera vez desde la gran hazaña de diciembre.

'No one can deny it now': death flight plane to be returned to Argentina (The Guardian)

Flight logs revealed how 12 people were thrown out to their deaths into the Atlantic during the years of dictatorship.

“But I still think it has to be on display at the [death camp] museum because it is part of history now.” One entry stood out: a three-hour flight in December 1977, from the Buenos Aires city airport back to the Buenos Aires city airport, with no stop in between. “Then the plane was found in Florida, with the original flight logs intact. This was the aircraft which Ceraudo and Lewin eventually tracked down in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where it was owned by a company that flies courier packages to the Bahamas. I could have died on that plane myself and many people I knew died on it. The third pilot named in the flight log, Enrique José de Saint Georges, died of natural causes awaiting trial. They included three members of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, including Villaflor, three other relatives of missing people, two French nuns and four young activists who helped the relatives in their search for their loved ones. After we published their stories, the activists tried to persuade me to join their group, and the Mothers sometimes returned if only to hold my hand in silence for 15 minutes. Two were taken from the Comet bar near the Herald offices where we had been scheduled to meet on 8 December. The FAA-registered plane is now in the hands of another US company, Win Aviation, whose owner, Andri Wiese, said he was working to finalise the logistics to return the aircraft. Then they pushed their victims out, to fall thousands of feet into the South Atlantic. On the night of 14 December 1977, the three pilots flew their turboprop aeroplane for more than an hour out over the Atlantic Ocean.

Cómo salió Argentina de la "hiperinflación" hace 30 años (y cuán ... (BBC Mundo)

"Si hay una corrida, como la que vemos hoy en Credit Suisse, no habría manera de frenarla, salvo que el gobierno o los bancos atesoraran reservas líquidas. La convertibilidad terminó mal porque el shock fue tan duradero que no sobrevivió". Esto provocó una severa devaluación que hizo que se disparara la pobreza, que llegó a afectar a dos de cada tres argentinos. Entonces necesitas un programa de estabilización", dice Marina Dal Poggetto. La medida -que comenzó a regir en abril de 1991 tras su aprobación en el Parlamento- establecía una paridad fija del peso argentino al dólar estadounidense. Yo propongo la libre competencia de monedas, reforma del sistema financiero. "Un régimen cambiario no te resuelve el problema. "¿Cuál es el régimen monetario cambiario óptimo? ¿Qué hizo Argentina en ese momento para contrarrestar la hiperinflación? ¿Se podría recurrir ahora a la misma solución? Ante esta compleja situación, a comienzos de 2002 se puso fin a la paridad entre el dólar y el peso, y a la "pesificación" de los depósitos en dólares. "La devaluación del real en 1999 fue el acta de defunción de la convertibilidad", afirma Dal Poggetto.

It is expected to land in an Argentine airport in April, at which point the Argentine state will officially take possession of the aircraft. The airplane has been bought by the Economy Ministry, led by Sergio Massa, and will be flown from the US.
