Argentina's Perón Returns: The 1973 Election and the Ezeiza Massacre

After 18 years in exile, Juan Domingo Perón returned to Argentina in 1973, but his homecoming was marred by the Ezeiza Massacre—a violent clash between left- and right-wing Peronist factions that foreshadowed the chaos to come. This episode explores the political turmoil leading up to Perón's return, the Héctor Cámpora presidency, the rise of the Montoneros and the Triple A, and the tragic events at Ezeiza airport. We discuss the role of José López Rega, the death of Perón's successor, and how the internal divisions within Peronism set the stage for the 1976 coup. Join Lucas and Luna as they unravel this pivotal moment in Argentina's history.
