ARGENTINA
Argentine President Videla is attempting to curb right-wing vigilante activity. In
a meeting with top army officers, he sought cooperation in ending the excesses of
security officials, some of whom have killed left-wing subversives. Regional army
commanders responded by cracking down on the extra-legal activities of police
officers, over whom the army has jurisdiction.
Right-wing violence has become a major headache for the government. Videla
and the junta want to avoid international criticism and accusations of being overly
repressive. Videla also wants to assert his authority at a time when some critics have
accused him of becoming indecisive.
By ordering an end to right-wing violence, Videla is directly challenging
military colleagues who favor drastic measures against the left. They consider
vigilante activities in retaliation against left-wing terrorism to be justified. Videla's
failure to contain the right could invite other challenges to his authority.
