Abstract

The historiography of the sixties and seventies in Argentina has broadly covered the phenomenon of political violence. This research is about an adjoining issue: the formation of Peronist teams of planners from 1970 to 1973; it specifically addresses the case of the Planning Council of the National Justicialist Movement (CPMNJ, for its initials in Spanish), the earliest and most official among them. The paper examines the ties kept between the general secretary of the CPMNJ, Leopoldo Frenkel, and the exiled leader Juan Domingo Perón. The vicissitudes of this group of planners are analyzed within the framework of the local political game of the Justicialism. In addition, its membership and areas of political and professional intervention are retraced. Through the historical reconstruction of the network of planners gathered around this think tank, the research highlights the presence of moderate and institutional political practices among the actors of the Peronism in the seventies.
