The conformation of Peronism in local space: Río Cuarto 1943-1946

Abstract

With the expiration of the functions of Mayors and Municipal Legislatures declared by the government of the Federal Intervention consequent 1943 coup was ending a long tradition of respect and strengthen municipal autonomy in the province of Córdoba. Thus began a process of political and administrative centralization that converge with the emergence of Peronism as a political movement, leading to a marked overlap between its structure and that of the State. Within this process play a key role in the transfer of second-line leaders of radicalism in close liaison with the possibilities of access to power. In this paper we analyze the implications of the loss of autonomy, based on the relationship established between the provincial and municipal states, in close with this, we study the links between government and instituted the nascent Peronist movement. Finally, we examine the link between these processes and the initial conformation of Peronism riocuartense, where it was clear the predominance of radicalism garzonista (traditional sector within the party) over Labour component.
