Monday to Friday morning.

The officialization of the campaign was made just after the CGT announced that will make a general strike against the government on May 27.

Argentina to report for the moment with only three saints: Nazaria Ignacia March, José Gabriel Rosario Brochero and Héctor Valdivielso Sáez. There are also 13 blessed people, including Ceferino Namuncurá.

On May 7, the centennial of the birth of Eva Perón, who died in July 1952, was completed. All the direction of the CGT is behind the movement for the beatification of Evita, although the One of his forces is Julio Piumato.

What is proposed the Peronist trade union center can take years. The process of canonization begins in the diocese where the candidate died.

Evita having died in Buenos Aires, it should start here. The process begins with the proposal and the episcopate begins its study. It must first be studied carefully in the local diocese, then in studies at the Vatican.

Once the candidate has lived an exemplary Christian life, he is declared "venerable " for the Vatican. Then it is necessary to find that God has performed a miracle through the intercession of the candidate to be declared blessed. And a second miracle to be declared holy.

The pope can save the miracle if necessary. But it is very exceptional that he does it and declares it anyway blessed.

When it is martyrdom, that is to say murder for hatred of faith, the miracle can be exempted. This is what happened, for example, last April with Bishop Enrique Angelelli, who was beatified with the so-called "martyrs of La Rioja".

Angelelli was killed in the last military dictatorship.

"With the presence of all members of the Workers' Administration Council, representatives of the Villero priests and the community in general, this act is a brake on the counter-culture that seems to tell us all I can, that is why I humiliate them, even in their faith, "says the text with which the CGT invited at the beginning of the campaign for the beatification of Eva Perón.

"Eva Perón gave her life in a providential mandate that aimed to save the dignity of the human person in its most transcendent sense. Synthesis of a deep faith in his people and in God, one hundred years after his birth, continues to be in the popular heart and on the altars of the humble people with the Virgin Mary ".

"Eva Perón felt that it was the mission to come to the world to do the good works she had offered as a gift to the Argentinian and Ibero-American peoples and to all people thirsting for justice." His love was not complacent, but the difficult and painful way of Cruz, to do justice and truth. "

And complete: "It is in this context profoundly Christian, Catholic and humanist that the General Confederation of Labor understands the message and the work of Eva Perón and not the small stage of the tribune full of words and empty of achievements ".
