description This article aims at analyzing the particular case of the province of Formosa, the first province to be intervened six months after the installation of the new constitutional government and one month after the inauguration of President Perón. Antenor Gauna and Ausberto Ortíz was the governmental formula that led Peronism to victory with 70.2% of the votes, in the second round. It was the first Peronist government in Formosa to conquer power after its provincialization in June 1955. A young, frontier and peripheral province, it was characterized by its discontinuous political experiences and its short history of participation and institutional representation. Its marginality in the economic and social map of Argentina was also reflected in the political literature of the seventies: none of the classic texts mentioned the problems of Formosa and, even less, referred to the internal process that ended with the federal intervention. Indeed, in the particular case of the province of Formosa, it is possible to observe different lines of conflict which, although in some aspects, are reduced to the intra-Peronist conflict, the internal dispute for power was also articulated with the mobilization of other social actors that had become the main mobilizing force in the province, such as the Unión de Ligas Campesinas de Formosa (ULICAF).

Antenor Gauna and Ausberto Ortíz was the governmental formula that led Peronism to victory with 70.2% of the votes, in the second round.

El presente artículo pretende analizar elcaso particular de la provincia de Formosa, primera provincia intervenida a seis meses de instalado el nuevo gobierno constitucional y a un mes de la asunción del Presidente Perón. Antenor Gauna y Ausberto Ortíz fue la fórmula gubernamental que llevó el peronismo a la victoria con el 70,2% de los sufragios, en segunda vuelta. Se trataba del primer gobierno peronista en Formosa que conquistaba el poder luego de su provincialización en junio de 1955. Provincia joven, de frontera y periférica, se caracterizaba por sus experiencias políticas discontinuas y por su corta historia de participación y representación institucional. Su marginalidad en el mapa económico y social de la Argentina también quedó reflejada en la literatura política de los setenta: en ninguno de los textos clásicos se menciona la problemática de Formosa y, menos aún, refieren al proceso interno que concluyó con la intervención federal. En efecto, en el caso particular de la provincia de Formosa, es posible observar diferentes líneas de conflicto que si bien, en algunos aspectos, se reducen aun conflicto intraperonista, la disputa interna por el poder se articuló también con la movilización de otros actores sociales que se habían convertido en la principal fuerza movilizadora de la provincia, tal el caso de la Unión de Ligas Campesinas de Formosa (ULICAF). 2002-02-01 2022-03-16T19:07:53Z 2022-03-16T19:07:53Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/cuadernosdehistoriaeys/article/view/9909 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/29377 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/cuadernosdehistoriaeys/article/view/9909/10585 https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/cuadernosdehistoriaeys/article/view/9909/31247 Derechos de autor 2014 Cuadernos de historia.
