They are fulfilled 129 years of the birth of Juan Domingo Peron. On October 8, the former Argentine president and leader of the National Justicialist Movement was born, which brought the workers to power.
The trajectory of Peron It was characterized by implementing demanding social programs, especially with workers and the humble classes. His government’s welfare policies earned him the affection and sympathy of many Argentinians. Among his legacy stands out the reform of the National Constitution of 1949, which incorporated social rights and demands such as the right to vote for women.
Thus Argentina went from an absolute lack of labor laws to a fair and supportive society in which the rights of workers were recognized. Collective labor agreements, the social security law, the rights of the elderly, the work accident law and the workers’ housing law are some of the policies promoted by Perón for the benefit of the people.
He was the only leader to date to assume the presidency of the Nation on three occasions, all in democratic elections.
At the age of 13 he entered the National Military College and obtained the rank of second lieutenant in the Infantry. At the beginning of the 40s he became one of the leaders of the GOU: Group of United Officers. With the group’s rise to power, Perón found his place in the world in the Ministry of Labor to change history. He legislated in favor of the workers, and became their leader and articulator. He would later reach the position of Minister of War, and later Vice President.
This is how his arrest occurred, which led to one of the most significant political events in Argentine history: October 17, 1945, when the people demanded their freedom from the streets.
