Three decades after the passage of Law 15 848, which prevented the application of justice, the present article proposes to revisit the issue from a commemorative present marked by the distance from a chronologically different generation in its classical Ortegan conception. To do this, we delimited two issues that we considered fundamental: the oscillating political discourse of the lawmakers, and an erratic rote discursive battle fought by the left, which in addition coincided with its arrival to power. Thirty years later, when a new generation emerged a "culture of impunity" consolidated no longer as a transient remnant, but as an organic component of today's cultural background. It was in charge of taking over, reappropriating and reworking the past for depuration. These variables came together to consolidate the silence of perpetrators and affirm their esprit de corps.
