Instead of uniting the wildly disparate factions that make up the Perónist movement, el Lider's return seems only to have ignited leftist and rightist tempers within the party. Last week the rival groups were bitterly accusing each other of inciting the turmoil that accompanied the homecoming...
Left-wing Perónist youths charged that Jorge Osinde, a retired military officer who was the internal security chief in Perón's 1946 government, led an armed right-wing group that tried to disrupt a mass rally near Buenos Aires' international airport.
