Peronist
Peronism, also known as justicialism, is an Argentine ideology and movement based on the ideas, doctrine and legacy of Juan Perón (1895–1974). It has been an influential movement in 20th- and 21st-century Argentine politics. Since 1946, Peronists have won 10 out of the 14 presidential elections in which they have been allowed to run. Peronism is defined through its three flags: "economic independence" (an economy that does not depend on other countries, by developing its national industry), "social justice" (the fight against socioeconomic inequalities) and " political sovereignty" (the non-interference of foreign powers in domestic affairs). Peronism as an ideology is described as a social form of nationalism, as it pushes for a sense of national pride among Argentines. However, it promotes an inclusive form of nationalism that embraces all ethnicities and races as integral parts of the nation, distinguishing it from racial or chauvinistic ethno-nationalism that priori ...

UCRI
The Intransigent Radical Civic Union (, UCRI) was a political party of Argentina. The UCRI developed from the centrist Radical Civic Union (UCR) in 1956, following a split at the party's convention in Tucumán between the UCR's progressive faction, led by Arturo Frondizi, and its conservative faction, led by Ricardo Balbín, which renamed itself "People's Radical Civic Union" (, UCRP). Receiving the endorsement of the exiled populist leader Juan Perón four days before the February 1958 general elections, UCRI presidential candidate Frondizi defeated UCRP presidential candidate Balbín by 17% and the party enjoyed a narrow majority in Congress.

A proposed Popular Front uniting banned Peronists, the UCRI and others di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Perón enlisted celebrities for the effort, among which was a radio matinee star of middling talent, Eva Duarte, who introduced herself to the Labor Minister by remarking that "nothing's missing, except a touch of Atkinson's". The effort's success and the rise of his ally, Edelmiro Farrell, within the junta, led to Perón's appointment as vice-preside ...
