Jorge Videla
In March 1978, Jonkheer Doroné van den Brandeler, the Dutch ambassador to Argentina, did something similar, to the embarrassment of his own government. He wholeheartedly supported the World Cup that year and ignored all human rights abuses, as AISP is doing now in Qatar.
Days before the start of the World Cup, the ambassador told de Volkskrant that international criticism of the country’s human rights abuses had been exaggerated. “Ask the worker. Taxi drivers, waiters. These people don’t even know what human rights are. The development of Europe in the last two hundred years has passed through South America. In these countries they have never lived with it. They are traditionally used to it. have several men above them.”
The bodyguard did not want to hear bad news about Jorge Videla, who had seized power in a coup in 1976 and since then his opponents were arrested and killed en masse. “I know the person personally and I have the impression that after years I have known these types of people quite a bit. Videla is a person of good will, a really polite person, very Christian and was surprised by the fact that she couldn’t control herself. some hardliners.”
