Entre la autonomí­a y la voluntad de poder: El proyecto de intervención a la provincia de Buenos Aires y la ruptura del Partido Socialista en 1927

Abstract

This article analyzes the process that in 1927, results in the breakdown of the Partido Socialista [PS] and the birth of Independent Partido Socialista Independiente. It emphasizes that the contrast between the numerical importance of the socialist representation and its low political impact was one of the factors that would have encouraged that breakdown. The paper describes the sprouting of a dissident tendency around the figure of Antonio de Tomaso, and reconstructs the positions the PS supported around provincial interventions. It soon approaches the intervention proposal to the Province of Buenos Aires, in 1927, and explains how the withdrawal of this proposal triggered the breakdown of those who insisted on maintaining a project that seemed to place the PS in the center of the political scene. Finally it raises some hypotheses about the place that the PS occupied in the argentine politics of the '20s
