One of the keys to the day will be, in any case, publicly expressing support for the former president after the verdict of the Federal Oral Court (TOF) 2 that issued her special perpetual disqualification in the first instance, and to demand that she be a candidate in the next elections.

The call to the meeting is already circulating on the networks with the slogan “Fight and return”, the same one that Peronism used in the resistance stage to fight against the ban on former president Juan Domingo Perón and force his return after almost 18 years of exile. .
“50 years after the popular triumph, fight and come back. Cristina 2023,” say the ‘flyers’ (digital poster) that several Kirchnerista leaders published on their Twitter accounts this Friday.

The date chosen for the act is no coincidence: March 11, 1973 marked the return of Peronism to an electoral contest after 18 years of proscription, with the candidate of the Justicialista Liberation Front (Frejuli) being elected president, Héctor Cámpora, who had with the support of Perón, who could not be a candidate.
For these elections, the dictator Agustín Lanusse established a series of conditions and changes in the electoral regime that hindered the participation of Perón himself as a candidate and that, according to his plans, would also reduce the chances of a triumph of Peronism.
Thus it was that he imposed a clause by which all those leaders who wanted to compete in the election had to set their domicile in the country on August 25, 1972, which excluded the leader of the National Justicialista Movement because on that date he was still in Spain.

And the other rule that sought to complicate Peronism was the establishment of the second ballot at 50%, so if the winning candidate did not obtain half of the votes, he would have to compete with the second in the second round: Lanusse’s expectation was that Frejuli, without Perón on the ballot, could not reach that percentage.
One of the objectives of Perón’s return on November 17, 1972 was that this clause would not be in force and that he could be a candidate anyway, but he did not succeed, so he returned to Europe in December of that year and recently returned. definitively to Argentina on June 20, 1973.
Finally, in the call to the polls on March 11, 1973, the formula of the Peronist front and its allies, made up of Héctor J. Cámpora and Vicente Solano Lima, was the winner, obtaining 49.53% of the votes.
Although Frejuli did not reach 50%, the candidate who had come second with 21.29% -the radical Ricardo Balbín- announced that he was withdrawing from the ballot and recognized Cámpora’s victory.
