Too bad people don't know who he really is.
Although of his literature work, Sabato is one of the supporters of the Argentinian Dictatorships of 1955 and 1976-1983.
He supported the "Theory of the 2 Demons"; which pledges that the military forces responded to the attacks of civilian paramilitar forces (ERP, Montoneres and others).
In reality Paramilitar Civilian Forces (or as the called themselves revolutionary forces), were pretty much diminished before the Dictators took hold of the Government.
There is no rationalization that can or will explain the use of military force against civilians. There was no real threat to the government, the country or any other country by the revolutionary forces. Though there were crimes committed by them (Kidnapping, ransom, theft, there is no reason to make the president and its committee resign on force.
(PS: I'm Argentinian)
Related to his literature work, I couldn't really make an opinion as I have read little to none of his work.
