Argentina 1946: Perón's First Presidency and the Rise of Justicialismo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the first presidency of Juan Domingo Perón, from his 1946 election victory to the foundational years of Justicialismo. They discuss the key policies that defined his early rule: the Five-Year Plan, the nationalization of the Central Bank and railways, the expansion of labor rights through the Secretariat of Labor and Social Security, and the role of Eva Perón in mobilizing descamisados. The episode also examines the opposition from conservative and radical sectors, the 1949 constitutional reform, and the ideological synthesis of nationalism, laborism, and social justice that became the Peronist doctrine. Figures like Eva Perón, José Figuerola, and the Catholic Church's influence are woven into the narrative. Listeners will gain a concrete understanding of how Perón built a coalition that reshaped Argentine politics for decades.
