The Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, an Argentine human rights organization dedicated to locating children abducted during the country's last military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983, announced the identification of the 140th stolen grandchild. The man, now 48 years old, was born in April 1977 in a clandestine detention center in Bahía Blanca and was taken from his mother during the dictatorship. He is the son of Graciela Romero and Raúl Metz and has a sister named Adriana Metz. The organization estimates that around 500 children were kidnapped during the regime, either born in illegal detention centers or taken during repressive operations. This discovery was confirmed on July 7, 2025, through the Grandmothers’ social media account and will be further detailed in a press conference. Estela de Carlotto, president of the group, emphasized the importance of continuing the search for the remaining missing grandchildren and called for greater state support. The identification comes amid ongoing government policies under President Javier Milei that critics say undermine historical memory. The Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo remain committed to uncovering the identities of those affected by the dictatorship’s human rights abuses.
