Fearless denouncer of the dictatorship when few had the courage to do so, antisemite, darling of visiting pop stars, fan of both the Castro dictatorship in Cuba and Osama Bin Laden, international human rights icon and much else besides, Hebe de Bonafini is quoted in The Buenos Aires Herald’s coup anniversary supplement (which may be available online for those who have a subscription) as saying,
At Madres we believe that the Buenos Aires Herald has two facets. During the dictatorship it always spoke well of the Madres de Plaza de Mayo but it also supported (Economy Minister) Martínez de Hoz and his economic project. The newspaper was in favour of the multinationals and against our children. And there is no doubt that those who are against our children are against us. Therefore this association (the Madres) was never in agreement with The Buenos Aires Herald, because it doesn’t love our children.
