The institutional challenge : the unarmed political practices of the Revolutionary Tendency of Peronism in the Ministry of Land Affairs of the province of Buenos Aires (1973-1974)

Abstract

This article analyzes the process of incorporation of sectors of the Revolutionary Tendency of Peronism in the government of Oscar Bidegain in the province of Buenos Aires, in the framework of democratic reopening of March 11, 1973. It seeks to analyze both the previous history of the groups included in the provincial administration, its specific role in the government organization chart, together with expectations, senses and objectives that guided the participation of revolutionary militants in the institutional structures of the state. Furthermore, we more specifically analyze the political practices deployed by militants in the Ministry of Land Affairs, focusing on driven management programs, observing a diverse repertoire of modes of action enrolled in a broader program of structural change and construction of a national socialism.
