Description
Summary:This article reconstructs the activity of the Argentine Communist Party in the period 1973-1976, between Héctor Cámpora's presidency and the military coup. The paper assesses the changes in the party's political line, its positions regarding the crisis of Peronism, the strikes of June and July 1975 and the changes within the armed forces. This review intends to show that the policy of "civic-military convergence" that the CP put forward after 1976, had actually preceded the military coup and represented a defense of the institutions facing the threat of a "pinochetazo". Thus, this paper addresses the activity of the CP in a period that has not been deeply studied and which, however, plays a key role in order to understand the role of the party during and after the third Peronist government.
