In Western Sahara , formerly Spanish Sahara ,

7676-544: The reliance of Peronism on trade unions was so strong, that in the Peronist movement, "the initiative very much lay with the trade union movement; Perón was more its creature than the labor movement was his." Following the overthrow of Perón in 1955, Peronism would gradually shift further to the left, something that was influenced by political developments in Latin America such as the Cuban Revolution and

7777-504: The replacement of the entirety of the highest party leadership members. Third, the party had a fluid structure that was maintained until the final days of the decade of 1940.

The national party management intervened in permanent form in the provincial subsidiaries and used to choose

8181-547: The support of diverse sectors in the Peronist movement, including La Cámpora .

Nine days later, a big worker mobilization known as Loyalty Day , compelled the military government to prepare Perón’s liberation and call elections.

Lewinsky characterizes

8686-533: The whole of Spain, in contrast to las demás lenguas españolas (lit. "the other Spanish languages "). Article III reads as follows: El castellano es la lengua española oficial del Estado. ... Las demás lenguas españolas serán también oficiales en las respectivas Comunidades Autónomas...

The basic principles of Peronism and

The reforms carried out by Perón in 1940s and 1950s were described as socialist and populist.
