Far-right threat raises bloody past

Javier Milei, a candidate for Argentina's presidency who may yet win, has been trying to underestimate the number of prisoners that the military dictatorship murdered.

The fact that it was a murderous lying right-wing dictatorship is more important than the precise number of political murders it carried out. But why then bring up that number as an election issue? I can't see any motive that isn't a bad one.
