Silvio Frondizi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Silvio Frondizi (Paso de los Libres, Corrientes Province, January 19, 1907 — September 27, 1974) was an Argentine intellectual and lawyer, brother of president Arturo Frondizi and of the philosopher Risieri Frondizi. Silvio was assassinated by the Triple A death squad in September 1974.

Silvio Frondizi founded Praxis y Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR-Praxis), a left-wing revolutionary group, and traveled to Cuba where he met Che Guevara. He defended the trotskyist Workers Revolutionary Party's (PRT) political prisoners.

SIDE agent and probable member of the Triple A Anibal Gordon was later convicted for his murder, while Rodolfo Almirón, also head of the Triple A, has been accused in 2006 of his murder.
