By contrast, the thousands of anonymous Argentinian citizens who were assassinated, kidnapped, tortured, crippled for life, or otherwise impacted by terrorism continued, under the Cristina Kirchner administration, to be deprived of recognition as victims and were not taken into account in government policies relating to the period during which those terrorist actions were committed. These victims, Villarruel asserted, have spent decades awaiting justice and watching helplessly from the sidelines while the government protected their assailants instead of supporting the victims' own rights. No effort to secure rights for these victims, noted Villarruel, have ever succeeded in Argentinian courts; on the contrary, judges have consistently served as “guarantors of terrorists' impunity.” In her talk, Villarruel also accused the Kirchner government of acting in complicity with Iran.
