Last week, for the fifth time in 13 months, crisis and revolution overhung the rich land of beef and wheat. Once more, it was over the issue that did in President Arturo Frondizi a year ago: whether to restore limited political freedom to the Peronistas, the 3,000,000-man political organization left behind when Dictator Juan Perón was ousted in 1955. The violently anti-Peronista navy was at war with the somewhat less violently anti-Peronista army and air force, which rule the country but promise a return to democracy in elections this June 23. And through...
...time correspondents in Latin America, and we expect that attentive TIME readers, as opposed to most Americans, should easily be able to pass a quiz identifying the nationality of such names as Rómulo Betancourt, João Goulart, François Duvalier, Jânio Quadros, Arturo Frondizi, Victor Raúl Haya de la Torre, López Mateos and Cantinflas...
Nearly a year after his overthrow, Frondizi, noticeably heavier and his hair gone white, was still technically under arrest. But times-and his fortunes-have changed. Frondizi's first stop was a comfortable, Swiss-style chalet overlooking a lake 13 miles outside of Bariloche. But when he complained that it was too remote from his friends, the government obligingly moved him to a hotel nearer town. Frondizi's visitors, so tightly limited by the military when he was on Martin Garcia, will be limited only by Frondizi's wishes and Bariloche's remote ness from...
...those curious twists that Argentina's tangled politics takes, moderate military commanders now believe that the Frondizi they once feared may hold the key to the elections next June 23. The soldiers fear even more the 3,000,000-man political organization left behind in 1955 by ousted Dictator Juan Perón. Still the most powerful political force in the country, the Peronistas are hated by the officers who overthrew the dictator-and who turned out Frondizi when, a year ago, he permitted Peronistas to run in congressional and provincial elections, in which they scored impressive triumphs...
...Frondizi's new role, as the military men see it, is to negotiate a national front between his Intransigent Radicals, the Peronistas and other parties. At Bariloche. Frondizi will have the freedom to negotiate such a coalition. The agile Frondizi seems agreeable to the idea. Whether the Peronistas will participate in such a national front is less clear. So far they insist on full legality for themselves or nothing...
