Final March of Resistance
On 26 January 2006, members of the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo Association made their final annual March of Resistance around the Plaza de Mayo, saying no more such marches are needed because "the enemy isn't in the Government House anymore". This decision was in recognition of President Néstor Kirchner's success in having the Full Stop Law and Law of Due Obedience (two Alfonsín-era measures which had effectively ended most Dirty War prosecutions) declared unconstitutional. Their weekly Thursday marches will continue, however, in pursuit of action on other social causes. The Founding Line faction announced that it would continue both the Thursday marches and the annual marches.
