Las elites militares y partidarias frente al “problema de los desaparecidos” durante la última dictadura cívico-militar argentina (1976-1983) Canelo, Paula This article analyses the content, tensions and temporalities of the positions and strategies of the military and party elites in relation to the ‘problem of the disappeared’ during the last Argentine civil-military dictatorship (1976-1983). The text shows how, and from which key historical events, the military elites opposed the front organised around the demands for truth-justice-memory of the human rights organisations with another, speculative front of concealment-non-revision-impunity. The paper also explains how and why the party elites, based on the strategy of ‘silence to negotiate’ the conditions for a political solution, positioned themselves in a calculated balance between the demands of the former and the needs of the latter. El artículo analiza el contenido, tensiones y temporalidades de los posicionamientos y estrategias de las elites militares y partidarias en torno al “problema de los desaparecidos” durante la última dictadura cívico-militar argentina (1976-1983). El texto muestra de qué forma, y a partir de qué acontecimientos históricos clave, al frente organizado en torno a las demandas de verdad-justicia-memoria de los organismos de derechos humanos, las elites militares opusieron otro, de carácter especular, de ocultamiento-no revisión-impunidad. Asimismo, el trabajo explica cómo y por qué las elites partidarias, basadas en la estrategia de “callar para negociar” las condiciones de la salida política, se posicionaron en un calculado equilibrio entre las demandas del primero y las necesidades del segundo.
