An ex-gendarme recounted in a trial how they killed the mother of Pedro’s “Wado”
“We carry impregnated in our blood and in our hearts the mystique of Evita (María Eva Duarte) and the doctrine of (Juan Domingo) Perón. I have no doubt that Peronism and the labor movement are going to make it possible for us to once again have a Peronist president and a Peronist government,” he added.
While, Carlos AcunaSecretary General of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) and General Secretary of the Union of Workers and Service Station Employees (SOESGyPE), stated: “The truth, adhering to what the comrades said, we are all in the same, in the unity of Peronism to work and lead a Peronist government. We collaborate and work for Peronism and we want them not to forget about us later.”
Wado de Pedro: “When Peronism divided, the Argentine people lost”
For his part, De Pedro indicated: “It seems to me that the challenge we have as Peronism is to return to the sources.”
“In this election we are going to go against an economic situation that is hard on the pocket of workers and workers and we must admit it. When Peronism was divided, the Argentine people losthe continued.
In addition, he assured: “there is an epicsomething nice is being generated and that love is igniting, that mystique that peronist militancy has. I have no doubt that when we achieve a unified command to carry out a good campaign, the motor of the Peronist militancy is unbeatable.”

Along these lines, he stressed: “We have to have fewer fights and more discussions and we have to think of clear objectives in a purely Peronist program, we have to organize a Peronist electoral command, a centralized command that goes out to the military factory by factory, town by town”.
Finally, the general secretary of UTHGRA, Luis Barrionuevohe assured: “We have to defend the labor movement, social organizations, work. Within Peronism, we have someone young, knows the country, knows the wealth it has, walked and is walking, has all the qualities and conditions to be. The reality is only one, the candidate is already there, the candidate ours is `Wado`”.
“Let’s work, we have the best candidate and let’s strengthen this union table,” he concluded.
