This was followed by a series of [[military]]-appointed presidents and the implementation of [[economic liberalism|liberal economic]] policies, supported by [[multinational companies]], employers' federations, part of the more-or-less corrupt [[workers' movement]], and the [[News media|press]].
While preceding military coups were aimed at establishing temporary, transitional ''[[Military
==Onganía's rule (1966–70)==
Onganía implemented [[corporatism|corporatist]] policies, experimenting in particular in [[Córdoba, Argentina|Córdoba]] under the governance of [[Carlos José Caballero|Carlos Caballero]]. The new [[Minister of Economy of Argentina|Minister of Economy]], [[Adalbert Krieger Vasena]], decreed a wage freeze and a 40% devaluation, which weakened the [[Economy of Argentina|economy]] – in particular the agricultural sector – and favored foreign capital. Vasena suspended [[collective bargaining|collective labour conventions]], reformed the "hydrocarbons law" which had established a partial monopoly of the ''[[YPF|Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales]]'' (YPF) state firm, and passed a law facilitating the [[eviction]] of tenants over their non-payment of domestic rent. Finally, the [[right to strike]] was suspended (Law 16,936) and several other laws passed reversing previous progressive [[labor legislation]] (reducing retirement age, etc.).
The workers' movement divided itself between Vandoristas, who supported a "[[Peronism]] without [[Juan Perón|Perón]]" line ([[Augusto Vandor]], leader of the [[General Confederation of Labour (Argentina)|General Confederation of Labour]], declared that "to save Perón, one has to be against Perón") and advocated negotiation with the junta, alongside "Participationists" headed by [[José Alonso (trade unionist)|José Alonso]], and Peronists, who formed the [[General Confederation of Labour of the Argentines]] (CGTA) in 1968 and were opposed to any kind of participation with the military junta. Perón himself, from his exile in [[Francoist Spain]], maintained a cautious and ambiguous line of opposition to the regime, rejecting both the endorsement and open confrontation.

Line 62 ⟶ 66:
Faced with increasing opposition, in particular following the ''[[Cordobazo]]'', General Onganía was forced to resign by the military junta, composed of the chiefs of the Army, the Navy and the Air Force. He was replaced by General [[Roberto M. Levingston]], who, far from calling free elections, decided to deepen the ''Revolución Argentina''. Levingston expressed the nationalist-developmentist sector of the [[Argentine Armed Forces|Armed Forces]], and was supported by the most intransigent military elements. He named the radical economist [[Aldo Ferrer]] as [[Minister of Economy of Argentina|Minister of Economy]].
A coalition of political parties issued the statement known as ''La Hora del Pueblo'' ("Time of the People"), calling for free and democratic elections which would include the [[Justicialist Party]]. Under this pressure, Levingston was ousted by an internal coup headed by the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces and strongman of the ''Revolución Argentina'', General [[Alejandro Agustín Lanusse]].
