● 1943. A military coup overthrows Ramón Castillo. He was sworn in as Vice President of Roberto Ortiz in 1938. The illness and death of the President led him to the post of Prime Minister. Castillo followed Ortiz’s path in normalizing a country without fraudulent elections. A pure conservative, he led the presidential candidacy of Robustiano Patrón Costas, a representative of the aristocracy of Salta. With its fall, a group of officers seized power and ended the infamous decade. General Arturo Rawson takes office, who is replaced three days later by General Pedro Pablo Ramírez. The military regime, hegemonized by the GOU (Group of United Officers) is the germ of Peronism.

● 1946. Juan Domingo Perón assumes his first presidency. Exactly three years after the coup that overthrew Castillo, Argentina is returning to live under the protection of the Constitution and with a government resulting from fair elections. Perón was placed at the head of the Ministry of Labor and Planning, to which he added the Ministry of War and the vice-presidency. On October 17, 1945, the popular demonstration calling for his release won him the game against his army opponents. Another June 4, 1952, he will assume his second presidency, which will be truncated by the coup d’état of 1955.

● 1975. The Rodrigazo is produced. The new Minister of the Economy, Celestino Rodrigo, announces the package of measures that change the industrial model. In the midst of a deep crisis with inflation and economic stagnation, Rodrigo devalues ​​the currency, increases the prices of public services and fuels by up to 180% and imposes salary ceilings on joint agreements. Inflation is skyrocketing and there is a shortage. For the first time, trade unionism, under pressure from the base, has put a Peronist government on strike.

Written by the Minister of Justice, Ideler Tonelli, the law extends the scope of the endpoint regarding the crimes of the dictatorship. While this law provided for prosecution for those who were denounced before the expiry of the criminal proceedings, impunity is now guaranteed for all agents. Due Obedience states that officers complied with orders from senior commanders and that only theft of babies is the only crime for which cases can be opened. The two laws precede the pardons of Carlos Menem. They were overthrown by Congress in 2003 and declared unconstitutional in 2005 by the Supreme Court.

● 1989. The crackdown on protesters in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square ends. Chinese students began their demands there after the death of reformist Hu Yaobang on April 15.
