Description
Summary:This article is part of the studies on the New Left in Argentina. It reconstructs the trajectory of Raimundo Aníbal Villaflor, a key political-trade union personality of revolutionary Peronism. Villaflor began his militancy in the heart of the Peronist movement, but expressed a specific process of radicalization that redefined the margins of Peronist identity closer to Marxism. Approaching this militant career allows us to reconstruct a trajectory from the origins of the cycle, analyze the processes of reconfiguration of political traditions such as Peronism or socialism, and shed light on a political radicalization within the new left.
