From contempt to admiration, few are contemporary figures that have flooded in books, biographies, films and essays their own life. Eva Duarte de Perón is definitely one of these cases. In a political context in which women did not exist politically except for some unalterable monarchical circumstance, their brief but sense of national political and social life would forever resignify that reality. Aware that the political raid of Eva Perón is untransferable to a brief note, is that from Filo. News we decided to highlight five representative events of the trajectory of a political figure on which, outside their perceptions, loves or hatreds, nobody was or Stay indifferent. Eva and October 17, 1945
According to the main historians of the case, Eva transited the days before the milestone Peronist (and marked by the confinement of Perón) holding meetings with different legal representatives close to his partner. The return of the General to the military Hospital did not allow the reunion (it was forbidden), although it was a telephone communication. That night Eve was not on the balcony of the Government House, nor in the square. He remained in his apartment located in Posadas de la Recoleta Street where he followed the public on the Radio of the events. However, the triumph of the Popular Movement and the undisputed change in national political life after October 17, 1945 would have Evita as the protagonist in a new stage that began in Argentina. After Perón’s triumph in the elections of February 24, 19 46 and the consecrated marriage five days after the event, by June 4 of that same year, when the government enters into office, Eve becomes both First Lady and Mrs. Maria Eva Duarte de Perón.
His role in national political life was first developed in the direction of post and communications and then through the new Ministry of Labor. From there it is installed as the “cable to Earth” of Perón, maintaining in that process the link with the “Masses Now heard “and from where it would build the starting point for what would be the foundation Eva Perón, its main legacy. 1947 and the European Tour
Entrusted in its task of “social Action” is that on the end of May 1947 Perón decides to entrust to Eve a trip to the European continent, that since the non-intervention by Argentina and Spain, had put the parties in a complex link with the triumphant. With 28 years and traveling by plane for the first time in his life, Eva departs to Spain on June 6, 1947. Two days later, after an auspicious arrival, he received the great Cross of Isabel La Católica and pronounced a historic speech in the Plaza de Oriente in Madrid in the presence of more than 300,000 people. The tour will continue through Italy, the Vatican, Portugal, France and Switzerland. “My name has become the cry of women from all over the world. It is time for us to have equal rights as men, “says Eva, who, after dismissing a possible official visit to Britain, returns to Argentina with a different countenance than it left months ago. The women’s vote
The return of Eve marked a profound change in the perception of who at the time was “the First lady” or “The Lady of the president.” His move to political struggle is full. From now on it will be Evita. With the antecedent of the province of San Juan in the decade of 1920 and the creation of the Division of Work and assistance of the woman, is that the right to the female suffrage begins to gain weight in its discussion and partisan projection.
In the middle of the election campaign and by the beginning of the year 1947, Eva takes on this issue as a flag, marking numerous speeches that seek to press, from the Commission for Women’s suffrage, to the Congress of the nation. On September 9, 1947 the law number 13,010 which, promulgated 14 days later, permits the access to the elections to the Argentine women: “Here it is, my sisters, summarized in the tight letter of few articles, a history of long struggles, stumbles and Hopes. ” The Evita Foundation and the Women’s Peronist Party
“My wife decided to devote herself to social welfare. Thus was born the foundation Eva Perón (…) The first decree of Law of Protection to the foundation was created by my wife at the table; It was not full of articles, but it was more drastic than any written law, “Perón notes according to historical collections. In July 1948, the executive branch granted legal status to the foundation, which financed with taxes on the sale of tickets at the racetrack, fines for gambling and deductions from public employees, is presented as the decisional base for Eva. It is from here that homes are created school, hospitals contemplated within the designed “health Train”, the School of nurses and food shops of food, among other points.
From the social action to the policy is that after the first organizational assembly of the Peronist party, the 29 of July of 1949 is created the party Peronist Women (PFF), space that worked like a party with authorities and own organization within the Peronism. Both the foundation and the PPF were charismatic organizations, in which the strongest are clear personalities, but also presented as their deepest weakness. Deceased Eva, both the foundation and the PPF begin to fade to extinction. The elections of 1951
Established as a political and social weight figure, Eva’s efforts are insufficient in the face of an already installed disease. On November 6th, 1951 is operated in the recently inaugurated Polyclinic president Perón of Avellaneda. Five days later, the Argentines attend the polls. For the first time women vote and seeking to avoid a cruel irony is that the Electoral board authorizes the first lady to vote from her room. The Peron-Quijano formula obtains 62.40% of the votes and wins the elections, while on November 14 Eve returns to the presidential residence, although it could no longer return to national political life.
On July 20, 1952 is celebrated the great mass in the open air asking for his life. 6 days later and with 33 years of age, Eva Perón dies. The Official document states: “It complies with the Sub-secretariat of information of the presidency of the nation the Penosisimo duty to inform the people of the Republic, that at 20.25 died Mrs. Eva Perón, spiritual leader of the nation. The remains of the lady of Perón will be conducted tomorrow, in the morning hours, to the Ministry of Labor and Foresight, where the burning chapel will be installed. ” In this note:
