At Perón's closed-door meeting with provincial governors last month, spokesmen for the Perónista associations rapped several provincial officials for failing to pay "people's organizations" due heed. Aware that more than three provincial governments took verbal stonings at the meeting, newsmen asked Minister Borlenghi last week whether there would be more intervening in the near future.
