ABSTRACT

The armed forces that took violent control of the Argentine government on March 24, 1976, the so-called “National Reorganization Process” (NRP), sought to restructure the social body they considered “misguided” and the national state which was diagnosed as corrupt and demagogic. The central purpose of the military government was to remove the “popular and industrial” foundations of the country and establish a conservative national project conducting a neo-liberal economic model.
