Peron used the leftist militias to destabilize so he can regain the presidency and after they got out of control, they had to stop them violently.
The "dirty" war in Argentina was like the BLM movement here. Let me give you a brief explanation: Peron was a far right fascist President of Argentina from 1945 till 1955 when he was removed by a military (mostly Navy) conservative coup. He moved to Spain to exile, during the 60s, with his directives from Madrid, he started creating a chaotic, violent atmosphere in the main cities, kidnappings, bombs, riots, protests, etc using the Montoneros and ERP as allies (Marxists militias trained in Cuba and Libya). He was planning to return, there were elections in 1973, he put a left-wing puppet president (Campora) till Peron returned to power as president (Campora resigned, called new elections) and his new wife, Isabel, vice-president. The Peronism in that moment was a clash between fascists and communists in the same political party. Peron had health issues and the country was still in a chaotic and violent atmosphere. The AAA (Anticommunist Argentinean Alliance) was created in the government; they killed and kidnapped illegally several terrorists and activists from the leftist militias but they were a small group so they couldn’t stopped them, even, in that moment they were already more than 850 missing people. The situation got complicated, Montoneros killed Rucci, the main union mafia boss allied of Peron, the militias now are completely separated from Peronism, and they wanted to create a new communist republic in Tucuman, an inner province. Peron died in 1974; his wife was the president till 1976 when he was removed by a military coup. That’s when the mass media starts talking about the “dirty war” but in reality, the civil war started in the 60s and got more violent in the 70s during the 3rd Peron government. Then, between 1976 and 1983, during the dictatorship, there were thousands of more kidnapped, tortured, killed and missing citizens (the vast majority were trained communist terrorists, and activists, mostly middle/high class university students). The leftist organizations claim 30 thousand but they were approximately 8,500. All of the survival terrorists are free and most of them are in the government now, but that’s another story. Argentina is one of the most politically complicated countries, after WWII they have Nazis hiding in Cordoba and Patagonia and they were Jews refugees in Buenos Aires.
ever wondered what happened with the dirty war in Argentina?
