‘give Peronism its vitality back “and to dream again.”’

Oh.

And when was Peronism not a dream, pray tell???

‘It is also no secret that what this group wants is for CFK to announce her own candidacy.’

Which seems to be what this is all about.

If CFK returns to the Pink House then God save Argentina, because only he can.

Thus far, Peronism has worked wonders for Argentina, so we can look forward to ever spiraling debt and inflation in our neighbours! Yet more investment by China, despite their not wanting any influence from the northern hemisphere.It will be fun watching KFCs party further destroy a once proud nation.

Like many South American countries they appear to lurch from dictatorships to left wing populist governments. Venezuela is the birthplace of the great liberator of South America - Simon Bolivar. I wonder what he would make of the current political set up there if he could rise out of his grave.
No need for him to be resurrected:
Bolivar’s most famous quote is from 1830, regarding ‘Latin’ America, as he surveyed the wreckage of his dream. As self-assessments go, it is not very positive:
‘I have ruled for 20 years and from these I have gained only a few certainties:
[Latin] America is ungovernable, for us;
Those who serve a revolution plough the sea;
The only thing one can do in [Latin] America is emigrate;
This country will fall inevitably into the hands of the unbridled masses and then pass almost imperceptibly into the hands of petty tyrants, of all colors and races;
Once we have been devoured by every crime and extinguished by utter ferocity, the Europeans will not even regard us as worth conquering;
If it were possible for any part of the world to revert to primitive chaos, it would be [Latin] America in its final hour.’
The Falkland islands show the way. But are looked on with contempt by Peronist grabbers.
Keep trying to grab what you'll never get, I guess.
