The party does not fit neatly into any political category, basing itself on the policies espoused by Juan Perón as president of Argentina. During Perón's third presidency and after his death, the PJ had a place both for leftist armed organizations like Montoneros and far-right members like José López Rega, founder of the Argentine Anti-Communist Alliance. The Montonero Peronist Movement (Movimiento Peronista Montonero was an Argentine left-wing Peronist guerrilla group active during the 1960s and 1970s José López Rega ( 17 October 1916  &ndash 9 June 1989) was Argentina 's Minister of Social Welfare during the Peronist The Argentine Anticommunist Alliance ( Alianza Anticomunista Argentina, usually known as Triple A or AAA was a Far-right Death squad active in

In the first democratic elections after the end of the dictatorship of the National Reorganization Process, in 1983, the Justicialist Party lost to the Radical Civic Union (UCR). The National Reorganization Process (in Spanish, Proceso de Reorganización Nacional, often simply El Proceso) was the name used by its leaders The Radical Civic Union (in Spanish Unión Cívica Radical, UCR) is a Political party in Argentina. Six years later, it returned to power with Carlos Menem, during whose term the Constitution was reformed to allow for presidential reelection. Carlos Saúl Menem Akil (born July 2, 1930) was President of Argentina from July 8, 1989 to December 10, 1999 The 1994 reform to the Argentine Constitution was approved on 22 August, as a result of the Olivos Pact between by that time president of Menem (1989–1999) adopted neoliberal right-wing policies which changed the overall image of the party. Originally coined by its critics and opponents " neoliberalism " is a label referring to the recent reemergence of Economic liberalism or Classical liberalism The PJ was defeated by a coalition formed by the UCR and the centre-left FrePaSo (itself a left-wing offshoot of the PJ) in 1999, but regained political weight in the 2001 legislative elections, and was ultimately left in charge of managing the selection of an interim president after the collapse of December 2001. The Front for a Country in Solidarity ( Spanish: Frente por un País Solidario or FrePaSo) was a political party in Argentina. Argentina held national parliamentary elections on Sunday 14 October 2001. Justicialist Eduardo Duhalde, chosen by Congress, ruled during 2002 and part of 2003. Eduardo Alberto Duhalde (born 5 October 1941 is a former president of Argentina. ^[2]

The 2003 elections saw the constituency of the party split in three, as Carlos Menem, Néstor Kirchner (backed by Duhalde) and Adolfo Rodríguez Saá ran for the presidency leading different party coalitions. Argentina held presidential and parliamentary elections on Sunday April 27, 2003. Adolfo Rodríguez Saá Páez Montero (born July 25, 1947) is an Argentine Peronist politician After Kirchner's victory, the party started to align behind his leadership, marked by a return to a more left-wing profile. ^{[3] [4]}

The Justicialist Party effectively broke apart in the 2005 legislative elections when two factions ran for a Senate seat in Buenos Aires Province: Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (the first lady) and Hilda González de Duhalde (wife of former president Duhalde). Argentina held national parliamentary elections on Sunday 23 October, 2005. Buenos Aires Province (ˈbwenos ˈaiɾes Spanish: Provincia de Buenos Aires is the most populated province of Argentina.

Hilda Beatriz 'Chiche' González de Duhalde (b 14 October 1946) is a politician in Argentina. The campaign was particularly vicious. Kirchner's side allied with other minor forces and presented itself as a heterodox, left-leaning Front for Victory, while Duhalde's side stuck to older Peronist tradition. The Front for Victory ( Spanish: Frente para la Victoria, FPV) is a leftist political front and electoral alliance in Argentina González de Duhalde's defeat to her opponent marked, according to many political analysts, the end to Duhalde's dominance over the province, and was followed by a steady defection of his supporters to the winner's side.
