The Last Argentine dictator Dies

He was hospitalised for a hip fracture and had to undergo surgery, but he passed away after a heart attack, according to the Argentinan media.

Reynaldo Bignne was the last dictator to have met Argentina in 1982-1983.

Following his country's defeat in the face of Great Britain during the war of Sen-Malo (1982), in 1983 he stepped down in the face of the first democraticly elected president, Raul Alfonso, who marked the end of the military regime that ruled the country for eight years since 1976.

Several months before leaving the post, Reynaldo Bigone approved” final report” of the junta, which declared all those missing and dictatorship dead and enabled amnesty to the military, goes to Atsh.

General Bignon became the target of the investigation in 1985, along with other military leaders who were sentenced before being released after the presidential pardon decreed by Carlos Menem on December 28, 1990.

Since the annulment of amnesty laws in 2005 by former President Nestor Kirchner, the Arginian court again condemned more than 200 leaders of the dictatorship, and about 800 police and military officers became the target of the investigation.
