El deporte como un antídoto para la violencia juvenil en el tercer gobierno de Perón

The third government of Juan Domingo Perón in Argentina presented various facets, but the studies on it mostly emphasized the violence between the youth and orthodox faction of the movement. One of those aspects on which little has been addressed is the implementation by the State of a sports policy as a necessary complement to the comprehensive education that citizens should have. This way of understanding sport, as a state authority, was the one that had prevailed in the first two Peronist presidencies between 1946 and 1955. It was during that period that infrastructure was created, children's tournaments and world championships were carried out. On his return to the post of president, Perón thought that a return to those sports promotion policies would put a stop to youth violence that was experienced on a daily basis. It was for this reason that he was in charge of expressing it explicitly in various speeches that he gave between January and May 1974. Those speeches sought to associate the high levels of existing violence with the lack of state policies to promote sport such the situation after his dismissal in 1955
