Peronism paid off 50% of the debts since 2001 until a right wing government doubled the debt again.
I’m nut a huge fan of any of the Peronist governments but when other groups got or took the opportunity it was way worse.

He created a movement of people that they indoctrinated to believe that Peron is god and everything they say is saint's words. My family suffered persecution from the party: my grandfather had a refrigerators SMB, the syndicate came to him and asked to provide X number (I don't recall) of refrigerators so that they can give them away to the poor. My grandfather gave them and then had to close. He was also a pedophile, my mother told the story and how he would come to the school and put money in his pants, so that the girls of the school can take it out from his pants. He supported Mussolini and the Nazis, there are many families of Nazis in Argentina, people that escaped from Europe with the complicity of Peron. 77 years latter we have populism (8 million people support the remaining 40 million in Argentina), corruption, fanatics, more corruption, 6 in 10 kids do not eat all days, etc. etc. Yeah, right, Peron's first government was fantastic.
- dep_b 3y agoWell if we skip a little thing like that military government that kind of kicked off the real economic destruction of the country. Argentina started to make bad decisions around the Second World War already, Peronism definitely didn't fix that. But it's the military that really killed the country.
