Description
Summary:This article is about the evolution of repressive legal, legalized and illegal practices in relation with the Chilean exiles between 1973 and 1983. We believe that the policy of the Argentine State between 1974 and 1983 was centrally restrictive and expulsive but,the repressive mechanisms that we reused, suffered political variations according to the period. During the Peronist government, after a few months of relative reception of the exiles, a policy of harassment and persecution prevailed, which resulted in increased espionage, state and parastatal violence(with the purpose of producing and generalizing the terror, or in the framework of the Plan Condor) and massive detentions at the disposal of the National Executive Power (PEN).However, during the period of the military dictatorship, the continuation of illegal operations were combined with another policy of regularization of exiled population, for which a series of laws and decrees were implemented with expulsive purposes.
