Roger Waters and President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner
President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner met with musician Roger Waters in the Government House. The former Pink Floyd frontman will begin on Wednesday a series of nine shows at River Plate’s stadium.
Waters made headlines on Monday as he denied ever saying that the Malvinas islands belong to Argentina during a press conference in Chile.
Mothers of Plaza de Mayo and Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo also took part of the meeting.
During the 40 minute long meeting, the President and the musician did not discuss the Malvinas islands sovereignty, Mothers of Plaza de Mayo founding member Tati Almeyda said, following Waters’ comments regarding the disputed islands.
But Waters did mention the case of a British soldier that died during the war and was buried as an NN in the islands. He handed Fernández de Kirchner a card with the soldier’s mother’s name and contact information, with the hopes that the Argentine team of forensic anthropology, which is dedicated to find and identify bodies of those kidnapped and killed during the last military dictatorship can do the same for the soldier.
