"Now starts a new stage, constitutional in nature and free from revolutions, because revolution cannot be the permanent situation in a country."

Education Minister who wrote the pep song Peronista Boys, both forced to resign: Domingo Mercante, governor of Buenos Aires Province, humiliated and ousted; Juan Duarte, Perón's own brother-in-law and private secretary, repudiated and fired (he committed suicide...
