Juan and Eva Perón have remained an elusive symbol of political power to this day. By radically changing the direction of the Argentine government, they have become one of Argentina's most beloved and hated politicians. Their love was interrupted by tragedy.
Eva Marie Duarte was born on May 7, 1919 in the small town of Los Toldos in Argentina. Her father Juan had his family in another city, and he met Eva's mother Juan when she was 15 years old. She soon became his mistress and bore him five children, of whom Eva was the youngest.
After her birth, her father left them in severe poverty and returned to his family. After six years, Eva's father dies in a car accident, and she goes to the funeral with her mother, brother and sisters, although their presence was considered indecent. By the end of their lives, Eva and her sisters had not come to terms with their status as illegitimate children, and in her biography after arriving in Buenos Aires, which she began writing at the age of fifteen, she never returned to her childhood.
The actress' life on the road to fame was not easy, but Eva knew that if she succeeded in Buenos Aires, she would succeed everywhere, in New York and Chicago. she did not choose acting roles.
When she met Juan Perón in 1944, she was already a well-known actress in popular radio series, fully aware of her enchanting looks and skilled at bringing her appearance to perfection.
Juan Domingo Peron:
Born on October 8, 1895, he was 48 years old when he met Eva and was twice her age. He came from an influential medical family in which his father was a kind of outlaw. He became a farmer and a farmer, and he married Juan's mother only when Juan was fifteen. .
Extremely tall for an Argentine, with dark hair and the smile of a movie star, Juan was a symbol of a Latino seducer in his youth.
He finished military school and joined the army at the age of 21. In the pre-war years, he traveled to Europe, especially staying in fascist countries. He was impressed by Mussolini, and especially by the ceremonies of the fascist parades.
When he met Eva, he was the Minister of Labor, after the army took control of the state in 1943. He had an incredible ability to express his views through words. The mystery and ambiguity that accompanied his presentations had magical power. As Minister of Labor, he passed regulations on the minimum price of labor, paid vacations, and health insurance, which was revolutionary at the time.
The fateful meeting of Eva and Juan took place in early 1944 at a humanitarian art festival where funds were raised to help the victims of the earthquake that hit the town of San Juan. Eva came to the concert with a friend and went with Juan. At the time, he was a childless widower, living with a young mistress whom he introduced to the public as his daughter.
Eve took care of her in an extremely rude way. She moved her belongings into Juan Peron's apartment and threw her young mistress out into the street.
In early October 1945, the opposition in the Argentine armed forces forced Perone to resign, after which he was arrested. Mass demonstrations of his supporters, known as descamisados, followed.
While Peron was in prison, Eva went to his lawyer and friend to ask him for help. She hoped that he could submit a remark to the court with the aim of reviewing the legality of his detention.
He treated her arrogantly and arrogantly, expelling her from the office with the accusation that she was to blame for Peron's downfall.
Four days after being released from prison, Juan and Eva get married. The reason for the wedding is that he wanted to run for president of Argentina where it is desirable for the candidate to have his family.
All of Eva's films then mysteriously disappear, and the last one she made never saw the screens of the cinema. Her biography from the time before she became Mrs. Peron is mysteriously erased. During that period, their opponents deeply despise Eva as a cunning opportunist who paves the way with her beauty and youth. towards political success.
She became the first woman in the history of Argentina to take an active part in the presidential campaign. To that end, she launched the radio show "For a Better Future", visited all major European countries and charmed the whole world. Her beauty has left breathless the leaders of European countries, as well as world fashion houses, who give her their products and offer to become their face.
She founded the Eva Peron Foundation for Helping the Poor, and paid the first donation herself. She built many schools, hospitals and homes for neglected children in Argentina.
In the city named after her, she started building apartments for the homeless and continued the social reform that Peron started as the Minister of Labor. She provided him with the secure votes of women for the upcoming elections, when she gathered over half a million Argentine women around that goal, fighting for women's rights. She became the spiritual leader of a revolution that radically changed the status of women in Argentina.
The blonde beauty, the most powerful woman in Latin America in her early thirties, lost her last battle with cancer on July 26, 1952.
After he was overthrown in 1955, Juan Perón secretly sent Evita's body to Italy, where she was buried under a false name until 1973, when he came to power again.
After his death, Peron's third wife buried Edita's body in the Duarte family tomb in Buenos Aires.
Despite numerous controversies related to the period of her rule from the shadows, Evita Peron is still a legend of many Argentines today. In their houses, the "Mother of the Argentine People" stands on the wall next to the picture of the Most Holy Mother of God
The Minister of Health, Ramon Carrillo, orders a candle 165 cm high, as tall as Eva was. He lit it every twenty-sixth of the month for only an hour, so he expected the candle to last 100 years. The people send a request to Pope Pius XII to proclaim Eve a saint.
The funeral, with all state honors, is being held on August 11, and is attended by two million people. During the procession, flowers were thrown from the buildings next to which the coffin passes. Due to the flowers, noise and wreaths, it was impossible for some mules to move normally.
