Argentina's 1976 Coup: The Road to State Terror

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the lead-up to Argentina's 1976 military coup, which installed the brutal dictatorship known as the Proceso de Reorganización Nacional. They discuss the political chaos under Isabel Perón's presidency, the role of the Triple A death squads, the economic crisis that fueled unrest, and the U.S. Cold War influence that tacitly supported the coup. The conversation covers key figures like José López Rega, the Montoneros guerrilla group, and the military junta led by Jorge Rafael Videla. Lucas explains how Operation Charlie sought to destabilize the government, and how the 1976 coup unfolded differently from previous interventions, leading to state terrorism and the Dirty War.
