Some years before the arrival of Nestor Kirchner to the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences of this city, a handful of "partners" had founded the University Federation of National Revolution (FURN).
The former member of the FURN Jorge Falcone argues in his book Guerralarga Memorial - A kid from hundreds of thousands that the group "at the time, was the expression Montoneros university in La Plata . However, several of its members at the time, polled by La Nacion, played down that assertion.
Gonzalo Chaves, also from La Plata and a former representative of the Montoneros union branch, said: "There were tasks and contacts together but this did not mean at all, involvement in violent acts by student groups" .
The FURN was the first nucleation of PJ known as the Peronist revolutionary tendency "that was standing in the cloisters of La Plata.
The fall of the government of Arturo Illia and the implementation of the so-called Revolución Argentina, had driven Rodolfo "The Turk" Achem, Carlos Miguel and Carlos Negri, among other students, to form the group of "national, popular and revolutionary."
The early days of militant labor law, where she was Achem and Negri was not easy. On the one hand had to cope with the traditional vernacular of radical university leadership that led the Federation of University La Plata (FULP) and the other faculty deal with a trained anti-Peronist ideological and doctrinal well.
"Nestor entered the FURN military in 1970 and was very convincing, but it was not a leader, was one of us, "recalls Carlos Cottini provincial deputy, who prepared several tests along with Santa Cruz. By then, the organization was led by Negri, Marcelo Fuentes, Carlos Kunkel, Roberto Caballero and Carlos Moreno .
Kirchner-time carrying a large pair of green glasses, was part of the second generation of students Peronist UNLP. In law were nothing more than a dozen. In Advocacy group were Rafael Flores, Carlos Bettini, Gustavo Murici-today-gone, Daniel Fernández, Jorge Alessandro, Rodolfo Negri, Daniel Santin, Jose Luis Horna and Cottini, including others.
however, quickly saw the rapid growth in student membership to the worldview antimodel that cemented the dominant characteristic among students of the seventies and militant massified the phenomenon within the university.
corridors of power, but above all, the dining hall, where at midday were concentrated thousands of students, were the scene of heated discussions about politics, however, extended to private meetings of each group homes, pensions and unions, the policy also rampant in the traditional rocks in which Zitarrosa Cafrune or imposed, in turn, to other expressions of traditional folklore.
Peronist resistance to the Liberating Revolution, the move to the legend of Ernesto "Che" Guevara in October 1967 and the protest of workers and students known as "the Cordobazo" in May 1969, or arrival to Chile's socialist president Salvador Allende in 1970, were some of the milestones that led to those young people to commit to the ideals of a new society is possible and refined the great challenge of the Peronist group of university: the return home Juan Domingo Perón, exiled in Spain, synthesized under slogan "fight and come back."
Perón himself prompted the use of force and gave the youth a unique role in speaking of the need to "siphoning generation" in the Peronist movement. The concepts of "national socialism", "wonderful youth" and the antinomy "revolution," anti-revolution "were part of the statements of leading from his mythical redoubt of Puerta de Hierro.
La Plata university atmosphere, as mentioned earlier, the Peronist-markedly adverse forced the militants to a stress FURN higher than other clusters. "We had to stand guard to keep We broke the posters bearing the faces of Evita Peron, and often were beaten or spat on, "says Daniel Fernandez, a former trade unionist who in those years had entered the career of law.
Together with Fernandez , Kirchner campaigned in support of the civil judge's ruling Salvador María Losada, who, in 1970, to declare bankruptcy Swift fridge, extended liability to the company Deltec, headquartered in the Bahamas, whose representative in Argentina was the former Economy Minister Adalbert Krieger Vasena. "With this ruling because Nestor was rescued by the grief of the multinational" Fernández account.
"We had to look twice to discuss with teachers and defend our positions," said Cottini and ensures that, then the Constitution designed by Peronism in 1949 "was a dirty word."
Those young Peronist watered revisionist historians and thinkers like Arthur Jauretche, Raúl Scalabrini Ortiz, Juan José Hernández Arregui and Jose Maria Rosa. Based on their assumptions, which must be added the influence of the movement of third world priests led by Father Carlos Mujica, trying to outline the idea of \u200b\u200ba "national consciousness" on which crushed his newspaper Patria y Pueblo.
From FURN promotes the formation of parallel chairs to disseminate national and revolutionary thought of the "trend." Also developed free legal consulting work in different suburbs where he advised members of settlements on the steps to require land ownership.
Kirchner and his peers attended en masse, the return of Perón in November 1972 were also participants in a plenary held in the Boxing Federation in which the position was FURN Rodolfo Galimberti boost as youth representative in the party leadership, and organized a rally that filled the plaza Belgrano and had as main speaker the Peronist presidential candidate's Liberation Front (FREJULI), Hector Campora.
parallel to the triumph of Campora University was formed Peronist Youth (JUP) and synthesis of existing groups.
Several references of the JUP actively contributed to developing the document "Bases for a New University" where he raised a substantial change in the government-the incorporation of non-teachers in the curriculum and career guidance, as well as a task force of openness to the community.
The October 8, 1974, abduction and subsequent murder of Achem and Miguel, which then formed part of the government of the UNLP, interrupted the process started with the assumption of Campora. At the same time, deepened the political persecution of students and teachers relating to coincide with the proliferation of infighting within the Peronist movement.
At that time, many activists went underground while another group, among which stood Kirchner Work continued on the surface.
In those years, Nestor and girlfriend to fellow law student Cristina Fernandez, a La Plata three years younger than him. On May 9, 1975, when the murders of "peers" had become commonplace, Kirchner and Fernandez were married at the registry office of La Plata, where, according to legend, during the ceremony sang the Peronist march. The danger was around the couple as many other activists, committed to armed struggle or not. Then, they had already decided to go South. They could only fulfill a year later when Kirchner was received lawyer. So began the path of internal exile.
