This article describes how the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo have turned to the European Union for support as President Javier Milei moves to defund and dismantle Argentina’s institutions dedicated to finding the children stolen during the dictatorship. The delegation warns that under the guise of economic reform, Milei has shut down key investigative units, cut funding to the national genetic data bank, and restricted access to military archives—directly undermining efforts to identify the more than 250 adults who still don’t know they were kidnapped as babies. Many of these missing children may now be living in Europe, where several have already been found. With Argentina’s government retreating from its human rights commitments, the Abuelas are seeking international backing to continue the search and preserve the legacy of truth, memory, and justice.
