ARGENTINA
President Peron is resisting pressure from within her party for more cabinet
changes and the removal of her controversial advisers. Many Peronist leaders have
now joined other civilian groups in believing that only by purging her administration
can Peron avert a military coup that could well eliminate civilian participation in the
top ranks of the government.
Peron late Monday underscored her resistance by refusing to accept
resignations offered by her entire cabinet and reiterating her confidence in them.
the move came shortly after Peronist leaders had met with the President to demand
the removal of her advisers and the adoption of new economic policies.
The Peronist national council�the central organ of the party�supported the
demands, but only after a bitter debate that resulted in the resignation of six
members loyal to the President. The six accused their colleagues of betraying Peron
And advocating "deceitful questioning of the cabinet and government policies." The
council's action is a particularly serious blow, coming on the heels of a resolution by
the leaders of organized labor which limited their public support to the institution
of the presidency, rather than to defend the incumbent by name as they had done
before.
Despite Peron's refusal so far to give in, it is unlikely that she can long
withstand the combined pressure of labor, politicians, and now her own party.
Indeed, the President only narrowly headed off a congressional move last week to
declare her "unable" to discharge her duties. Congress is scheduled to reconvene
today to consider such a declaration again.
At least a token concesssion to her opponents, such as the sacrifice of one or
more cabinet ministers, appears inevitable if Peron is to avoid being forced into
temporary or permanent retirement.
