Komar questions official stance: "It pains me some support torture" | OneFootball

Rosario Central defender, Juan Cruz Komar, once again positioned himself politically with statements that go beyond sports. Ahead of a new anniversary of the National Day for Memory, Truth, and Justice, the footballer expressed his deep rejection of the stances of Javier Milei's administration regarding the last military dictatorship.

Referring to the recent findings of skeletal remains at the former clandestine detention center La Perla, Komar was blunt: “It's very hard, very difficult, that this recognition of bodies at La Perla has happened.” For the defender, the current social climate evokes times of impunity that were believed to be overcome: “It reminds me of the 90s, with the laws of obedience and full stop, a period when organizations continued fighting and striving to reach the trials that occurred later.”

In his analysis, the player drew a parallel between the apathy of the late last century and the country's current political situation. “Back then, there was a massive feeling that it no longer mattered, that it was over. I see a similarity with this moment, fueled by a denialist government,” he stated, questioning the official discourse.

Visibly affected by the validation of certain hate speeches, Komar declared: “It hurts me a lot that there are people who support the fact that people were tortured, killed, babies kidnapped, people thrown into the sea…”

An Athlete with Social Commitment

This is not the first time the former Talleres player has spoken out. Known for his active participation in public debates, Komar has maintained a critical stance towards the current economic model, warning that “people are suffering” due to the daily deterioration of family situations. Additionally, as a prominent figure in Rosario, he has questioned merely repressive approaches to the narco-insecurity crisis, demanding comprehensive solutions from all political leadership.
