Humberto Viola
Humberto Viola was an Argentine military officer who became a notable figure in the context of the country's tumultuous history during the late 20th century. He is primarily remembered for being the target of an attack by the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (ERP) on December 1, 1974, which resulted in his death as well as the tragic death of his three-year-old daughter, María Cristina. The recent decision by President Javier Milei's government to recognize this act as a crime against humanity highlights the ongoing struggle for justice and memory in Argentina regarding the violent political conflicts of that era. The acknowledgment serves as part of a broader initiative to confront and document the historical realities of Argentina's past.
