The unspoken subject: The ban on naming Eva Perón and her literary rescue in "Esa mujer" (That Woman) by Rodolfo Walsh
Abstract
In the review of Felipe Pigna's book “Los mitos de la historia argentina 5: De la caída de Perón al golpe de Onganía (1955-1966)” in Diario Popular of Buenos Aires province, it can be read that Juan Domingo Perón, after the coup that overthrew him on 16 September 1955, gave his first press conference in exile in Paraguay. When asked what he intended to do to return to power, the General replied: "Nothing. Everything will be done by my enemies" (20). Although the first dictator of the self-styled "Revolución Libertadora" was General Eduardo Lonardi, he was immediately replaced by the mentor of the rupture of the constitutional order, General Pedro Eugenio Aramburu. In 1955, he ordered the kidnapping and concealment of the body of the former President's wife, Eva Perón, who had died of cancer on 26 July 1952.
