Marcelo Larraquy, an Argentine historian and writer, discusses his novel 'El aniquilador,' which fictionalizes the life of Aníbal Gordon during the 1970s, a period marked by state violence and repression in Argentina. The book explores how ordinary individuals became entangled in political violence, protected by the state’s dual legal and illegal actions. Larraquy critiques President Javier Milei’s use of terms like 'basura socialista' (socialist trash), arguing that such rhetoric restricts democratic dialogue and undermines political differences.
