Sumario: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.
