Argentina 1974: Perón's Last Days and the Rise of the Triple A

In this episode of The Story of Argentina, Lucas and Luna explore the final months of Juan Perón's third presidency in 1974, the rise of the Alianza Anticomunista Argentina (Triple A) death squad, and the violent unraveling of Peronism that set the stage for the 1976 coup. They discuss Perón's deteriorating health, the escalating conflict between left- and right-wing Peronist factions, the massacre at Ezeiza in 1973, and Isabel Perón's fraught succession. Specific figures include José López Rega, the sinister minister behind the Triple A, and Montoneros leader Mario Firmenich. The episode also covers the June 1974 march on the Casa Rosada, the last Perón speech, and the chilling Patagonian rebellion that echoed earlier settler violence. A must-listen for understanding Argentina's descent into state terror.
