The **Peronist movement**, formally known as the **Justicialist Party (Partido Justicialista)**, is a major Argentine political organization founded in 1946 by Juan Domingo Perón and his wife Eva Perón. It emerged from a coalition of labor and political groups supporting Perón’s presidential bid and quickly became the dominant political force in Argentina[1][3]. Peronism is built on three core principles—**social justice, economic independence, and political sovereignty**—often called the “three flags.” It combines populist rhetoric with a focus on labor rights, state intervention in the economy, and social welfare policies aimed at benefiting the working class and marginalized groups[2]. Eva Perón, affectionately known as Evita, played a crucial role in mobilizing support among the poor and laborers, symbolizing hope and social inclusion[2]. Historically, the Peronist Party nationalized key industries, expanded social programs, and strengthened labor unions, which remain its consistent support base. Perón's government promoted urbanization, technical education, and public works but also faced criticism for authoritarian tendencies, censorship, and alienation of middle and upper classes[1][3]. After Perón’s 1955 overthrow by a military coup, Peronism fragmented yet retained a strong grassroots presence through decentralized labor and neighborhood networks, often operating semi-autonomously[4][5]. The movement has evolved through different phases: under Carlos Menem in the late 1980s, it shifted to neoliberal economic policies emphasizing privatization and deregulation, contrasting with its earlier developmentalist and protectionist stance. From 2003 to 2015, Peronism returned to a more left-wing, state-interventionist approach under Néstor and Cristina Kirchner, promoting social justice, economic nationalism, and progressive social policies[6]. Today, the Peronist Party remains Argentina’s largest political force, with a complex, chameleon-like ideology that adapts to changing
