Do not cry for me Argentina

In Argentina the people have defeated “Peronism”, so the corpse of his mentor, General Juan Domingo Perón, must be wallowing in the “graveyard” where he has been for 78 years.
President for the first time following the overthrow of Hipólito Yrigoyen, the democratically elected president. The way, a "coup d'état" led by the skillful "Juan Domingo", who assumes the head of state promising "Social justice, independence and political sovereignty", words with which he played during his long stay governing "the kids" . It is also read that “six women marked his life”, Potota, Giuliana, Eva, Piraña, Nelly and Isabel, whose variety the journalist Alfredo Serra attributes to the lover's phrase “I could never live without the company of a woman” ( Infobae, August 2017). He was loved so much that October 17, 1945 is commemorated every year in the historic Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires as “Peronist Loyalty Day.”
It must be taken into account that if there is something creative in the world, it is “language”, so from the daily use that people make of it, a diversity of expressions is derived aimed at defining processes of general interest. An example is found in the Royal Spanish Academy in which it reads regarding “Peronism”: Argentine political movement that emerged in the mid-20th century around the figure of Juan Domingo Perón.” And, he continues: From JD Perón, 1895-1974, Argentine politician, military man and president, e-ism. And for greater clarity, the Academy qualifies “ism” as a “suffix” added to nouns related to “doctrines, belief systems, schools or movements.”
For example, communism and cubism. And for other sources they are “morphemes”, that is, small units that are added to the end of a word to change its meaning. Latin America, with regard to political activity, exhibits the use of the “suffix”, with the warning that in most cases it is not a self-qualification of the ruler himself. Rather, of the voters. In beautiful Argentina, the names “Social justice, independence and political sovereignty” were immediately added to the surname “Perón”, a route for a political and social phenomenon “Peronism”. Long-standing and durable, to the point that Sergio Massa represents him as a candidate for the Presidency, against Javier Milei, who will be elected under the promise of removing from the souls of the Argentines the “lying morphemes” that have inspired him in the seeking presidential suitability. That is, one who knows how to lead them to individual and collective well-being.
The new Prime Minister, we assume, will review Perón's promises, among them, as noted, "social justice", for sources social equality and opportunities, the already ancient welfare state, the extermination of poverty, the demands labor and feminism, of recent date. In short, an equitable society. “Independence” the second promise of the “Loving President” in order to understand its meaning we fall into an immense jungle whose trees, distanced from each other, are named as “autonomy, autonomous government, self-determination, self-government and sovereignty.” Finally, regarding "political sovereignty", the third goal of "Peronism", the definition is one of the simplest of the three of "Juan Domingo", namely "the supreme political power that corresponds to an independent State." Will Milei think about the usefulness of the Peronist proposals or will he run over them with the chainsaw that he carried during the electoral campaign under the promise that he would destroy them. And since "Peronism" still survives, thinking about "the other way around" , one might wonder if the opposite will not happen. That is, that the cutting machine will be applied to the elected President himself. It seems to be in Mr. Javier's interest to act promptly, keeping in mind that "governing is a serious thing." And that the soul of the dog with which he talks about guides him not to create “Mileism”.
It is read, in fact, that with the arrival of Perón to power, State intervention in the economy increased and that the measures advanced, among them, the reform of the Central Bank Law, whose doors Milei wants to close, benefited some and They worsened others, generating a conflictive situation yet to be resolved. The provisions, full employment, real wages, importation, subject to discretionary permits from the government, subsidized industrial activities, inorganic money, inflationary financing, nationalization of deposits and use of funds from the social security system (Yearbook of the Center for Historical Studies “Prof Carlos SA Segreti", No. 2-3 (2023). Such decisions generated serious distortions, which for some still continue.
“Don Javier” has won the elections over Sergio Massa, endowed, as has been written, with the ability to change ships before bad weather worsens (Federico Rivas Molina, El País, Spain, Nov. 17, 2023). Young activist of the liberal right-wing party “Union de Centro Democrático”, he made the leap to Peronism, participating in “el Menemismo”, a derivative of the government of Carlos Menem (1989-1999), “El Kirchnerismo” and finally in the duo “Fernández”. & Cristina”, the result of the leadership exercised in Argentina by “Juan Domingo”, for whom these notes are written, “the eternal”. “Míster Massa” is considered “more of a Néstor Kirchner than a Cristina.” And also that Milei will say that he is nothing more than an exponent of “the political caste” that he promises to exterminate (Rivas Molina, Ibidem). She gave the impression that healthy advice for “Don Sergio” is that he should be careful with “the chainsaw.”
Finally, the defining notes of “Peronism” by the Spanish journalist Julia F. Cadenas cannot fail to be transcribed: “In the words of Alejandro Grimson, Peronism is a movement, it is a party, it is a feeling. It is from the right and it is from the left. It is contradictory and, for some, incomprehensible. And it has as many followers as detractors. “It is the most persistent popular political identity in Argentina,” writes the anthropologist.” Likewise, the giornalista points out, “80 years have passed since its formation and Peronism—like its counterpart, anti-Peronism—is still alive.
We do not know if the critical situation of the country that was “the largest breadbasket in the world” induces us to listen to Placido Domingo and Paloma San Basilio singing “Do not cry for my Argentina, My soul is with you. I dedicate my entire life to you, don't walk away, I need you.
