Six months before the World Cup final, AMIA released a video in which it appeals to the memory of Diego

This Sunday, June 18, it will be six months since the consecration of Argentina in the Qatar World Cup, and it will be only one month before commemorating 29 years of the terrorist attack perpetrated against the headquarters of the AMIA. To continue appealing to the exercise of memory, and renew the request for justice, the institution launched and shared today on its social networks an emotional video that uses football as a vehicle to transmit a strong message against oblivion. This June 18 marks 6 months of Argentina world champion. We know that Diego would have loved to be there to celebrate. There are many of us who miss him and that is why we remember him así.@arteamia pic.twitter.com/TOuDqHWuIa— AMIA (@InfoAMIA) June 16, 2023 The audiovisual production gathers emotional memories of Diego’s family and friends. But the testimonies do not refer to the memory of Maradona, but to the life of Diego de Pirro, a lover of the Albiceleste national team, and fervent fan of River. A young man of 23 years who worked in the General Tax Directorate and who studied at the Faculty of Economic Sciences, and who lacked three subjects to graduate. Diego lived in Pasteur 632. Minutes before 9:53, he was at home, talking on the phone with his friend Gustavo, when the bomb went off. Diego is part of the painful list of the 85 fatalities caused by the planned and executed attack by citizens and officials of Iran, and the terrorist group Hezbollah.In the video, his friend Gustavo evokes him and shares his testimony with other friends and family, such as his aunt and cousin. We remember him and each of the victims who missed everything that came after July 18, 1994. Because we have memory, we demand justice.” The final words of the video, which AMIA produced to remember the 29th anniversary of the attack, which will be completed in a month, focus on the invaluable life time that the terrorist act took from each of the people killed. The decision to evoke the figure of Maradona and remember the historic final of the 2022 World Cup allows, in this spot, to bring the new generations, who have no experiential memory of the attack, closer to a painful fact that is still unpunished, and that represents an open wound for all Argentine society. The presentation of the video “Diego” marks the beginning of the so-called “Month of Memory”, an initiative that AMIA carries out every year for 30 days, before July 18, to disseminate content that it produces especially in tribute to the victims and to condemn the current state of impunity. The terrorist attack against the AMIA is a crime against humanity, and therefore does not prescribe. The demand for justice is an unwavering commitment that was maintained throughout all these years. Next Tuesday, July 18, at 9:30, we call, one more year, to the whole society to say present at the Central Act that we will carry out in Pasteur 633, to continue demanding justice and denounce impunity, “they said from the institution, at the time of disseminating the video. With the idea and general production of the AMIA, the audiovisual piece “Diego” was created by the agency From, directed by Iván Vaccaro, and produced by Metropolis Films. The original music is by Papamusic and the sound postproduction by Absolut.The video is part of the remembrance actions that the institution carries out, through its Art and Production department, to keep alive the memory and the demand for justice.
