Interesting and wouldn't be at all surprising. Do have a link or a reference for the source?

if you do a little googling, there are tons of spanish language citations, fewer, but some, english.

there seems to be no disputing that he was, indeed, a lieutenant and served during the semana tragica.
Whether or not he actually commanded troops to fire on protestors may be harder to prove, but, most likely, its true.
And there doesnt seem to be much doubt that Peron's takeaway from the event was that protests needed to be stamped out by military authority.
He certainly was not on the side of the striking union workers, and I dont find any record of him opposing the military and various others taking advantage of the chaos to kill hundreds, if not thousands, of Jews, Union Leaders, Socialists, and Anarchists.

you are correct about the actual week- official death toll varies between 300 and 700 civilians, depending on the politics of the reporter.- most likely it was a few more.
not thousands. 50,000 people were put in jail, though. And if any of them happened to die in there, I am sure it was not counted in the 300-700.
But in terms of deaths from Peronism, I think the figure, over the years, is definitely in the thousands.

I am not a citizen of Argentina, and I am not pro or anti peron, but I think that the military under peronism continued to act illegally for many decades, culminating in El Processo.
Same actors, different stage names.

I'm not a Russian (or Georgian) citizen and I still have strong feelings towards Joey Steelman.

Localexpats:
Well, we'll see if under Macri immigration recovers deportation powers. I guess they will. Good luck then.

In fact, when you tell Macristas Videlistas they get offended because Videla belonged to the Army while Macri created the Pro party with other 2 military from the navy.

I'm far from able to comment on this but just today we had a talk with an Argie friend (Macri voter) and he gave me an important insight. He said Macri used to be a director of Boca Juniors football club, which just today celebrated another victory. He said Macri lifted the club more or less from ashes, and that's why he votes for him. Also a perspective That's why he votes the way he does and maybe he's not the only one.

Interesting. The K got a country in ruins and they rebuilt it. Macri got the wealthiest city in the country and left it poor: the debt has skyrocket...
