Notes on politics and/or armed activism through the trajectory of Oscar Bidegain and his connection with Montoneros

Abstract

The article examines the trajectory of Oscar Bidegain, historical leader of Peronism and governor of Buenos Aires between 1973 and 1974, and his relationship with Montoneros in the seventies and post-dictatorship. It analyzes his participation in spaces linked to the Revolutionary Tendency of Peronism under the influence of Montoneros. Through the cross between his biography and the unfolding of the main historical-political dynamics that crossed Peronism at the time, it seeks to investigate various aspects of the always tense relationship between politics and violence, as well as to provide elements to understand key processes of recent Argentine history.
