ABSTRACT
The process of democratic restoration, which has been under way since the 1983’s general elections, has brought a profound change in the political scene. The path and the processes of mobilisation did not escape this situation. From these processes we propose to describe a set of right-wing collective actions, which can be inscribed in two traditions: the reactionary-nationalist and the liberal-conservative (Morresi, Saferstein and Vicente, 2021). An analysis of the development of right-wing protest reveals two periods: the first one, from 1983 to 2001, when collective actions were episodic and spasmodic in nature; and the second one, from 2001 to the present, when collective actions constituted a “repertoire” of the protest organised mainly around a family of the right-wing, the neoliberal, showing demands referred to security, family and anti-tax or lower taxes. In this sense, it should be noted that the collective actions of the right were promoted thanks to the reactivation of the confrontation organised around the antagonism Kirchnerism/anti-Kirchnerism. The hypothesis underlying this work is that the constitution of a repertoire of collective action is explained by the transformations in the political perceptions of the citizenry and by the dynamics of political polarisation that unleashed the well-known “rural conflict” in 2008.
