The origins of Taty Almeida and the Truth about the dissapearance of her Son
By Jorge Tisi Baña via TotalNews
Taty Almeida is actually called Lidia Estela Mercedes Miy Uranga and this year she will turn 94 years old. She is the daughter of Cavalry Lieutenant Colonel Carlos Vidal Miy and Alicia Uranga, sister of Raúl Uranga, who was governor of Entre Ríos during the presidency of Dr. Arturo Frondizi.
The Miy – Uranga couple also had three other daughters, all married to Air Force officers, and a son, Carlos Vidal Miy Uranga, a soldier like his father, who became a colonel in the Engineer branch of our army. Taty graduated as a teacher and married Jorge Almeida, a fellow teacher with whom she had 3 children: Jorge, Alejandro and Fabiana. Of them, only Alejandro, who was an active member of the ERP-22 de Agosto, a faction that split in 1973 from the People's Revolutionary Army (ERP), is missing.
Alejandro Martín Almeida was 20 years old, he studied medicine at the UBA, he worked at the Télam agency and in the cartography area of the Military Geographic Institute. He was kidnapped by “Triple A” in June 1975, almost a year before the coup d'état. Taty found out about her son's militancy after being kidnapped, because she was too busy to realize that her son was part of a terrorist organization.
Since then she has been a member of “Mothers of Plaza de Mayo – Línea Fundadora but, curiously, she is an active militant against the military dictatorship.
She knows perfectly well that the Military Process that began on March 24, 1976 had nothing to do with the disappearance of her son that occurred a year earlier at the hands of Triple A.
In short, one of the ladies who most virulently attacks the Armed Forces and the military dictatorship, she comes from a military family, she had a brother and three military brothers-in-law. Her missing son was an ERP activist and was kidnapped in democracy by a parapolice organization organized from power during a Peronist government, a party to which she belongs.
Thankfully, she is dead now.
