Argentina 1945: The Day the Descamisados Took the Plaza
Om avsnittet
On October 17, 1945, hundreds of thousands of workers converged on Buenos Aires' Plaza de Mayo to demand the release of Juan Domingo Perón. This episode tells the story of that pivotal day—how Perón, as Secretary of Labor, had built a base among the descamisados (shirtless ones), the opposition that jailed him, and the mass mobilization that forced the military to free him. We explore the symbolism of the descamisados, the role of Eva Duarte, and how this single day launched Peronism as a political force, setting Argentina on a new course. Key figures: General Farrell, Colonel Mercante, and the workers of the Labor Secretariat. A turning point often overlooked in favor of the 1946 election itself.
