On 17 November 1972, Juan Domingo Perón returned to Argentina after nearly 17 years in exile. His arrival marked a turning point in national politics and energized Peronist supporters. Crowds gathered despite restrictions imposed by the ruling military government. The event set the stage for Perón’s eventual re-election. It remains commemorated as Día de la Militancia Peronista (Day of Peronist Militancy). The date symbolizes political activism and loyalty within the movement.
