Argentina: Leftist Leftist Electoral Aspirations
The badly splintered left wing of the Peronist
movement may be trying to pump new life into its
sagging image by forming a political coalition to
represent it at the polls.
According to the authoritative El Cronista
Commercial, the Peronist left is planning to launch
a new "Partido Descamisado" (named after Peron's
"shirtless ones"), and former president Hector
Campora is being touted as the likely 1977 presi-
dential contender. Campora has been in virtual polit-
ical exile in Mexico since he resigned as ambassador
to that country the week Peron died.
The trade journal claims that the new party will
be inaugurated on March 11, the second anniversary of
Campora's landslide victory. Then it reportedly would
test the political waters in the Misiones provincial
elections scheduled for April 13. The federal govern-
ment is likely to have a firm grasp over the electoral
machinery, however, and Orthodox Peronists can be
expected to gain the upper hand.
The new party reportedly will be composed of dis-
sident Peronist political groups and the radically-
oriented Peronist Youth. The latter organization,
which suffers from serious internal divisions, has
taken a battering in the universities, its principal
stronghold, as a result of the government's harsh
crackdown on the left. Once beaten on its own turf,
the left wing found itself with no real avenue of
influence. This became all the more evident when
most leftist-oriented newspapers and periodicals were
shut down by official edict.

The rightward tilt of Mrs. Peron's administration
has been largely responsible for driving the left wing
of her party to the sidelines. Provincial governments
headed by leftist Peronists were deposed one by one
and intervened by federal authorities. In addition,
large numbers of Argentines with leftist sympathies
were forced to flee the country because of threats
from quasi-official death squads.
Given the current murky political climate, the
prospect for the new party does not appear auspicious.
Although ousted Peronist leader such as Campora and
the deposed governor of' Cordoba Province, Obregon Cano,
are being mentioned as party leaders, the fear of as-
sassination at the hands of the rightist Argentine
Anticommunist Alliance may deter them from trying for
a political comeback. 3.5(c)
