...Peronistas' Popular Union Party and other neo-Peronista parties again rolled up 35% of the popular vote, won 44 seats for a total of 52, even captured populous Buenos Aires province and the neighboring province of Cordoba, home of President Arturo Illia and a longtime stronghold of his People's Radicals party. Illia's party finished with only 27% of the vote and a total of 70 seats in the Chamber of Deputies. "We have shown," said one Peronista leader, "that we are No. 1.

The history of the idea dates to a student strike and subsequent convention in Cordoba, Argentina, in 1919. Protesting against the ancient and restrictive control of university life by the Church, the Cordoba students staged a noisy walkout against scholastic officialdom. The result was an independent charter for the school.
