The Kirchnerist deputy Juan Grabois has once again found himself at the center of controversy after stating that Peronism “is not nationalist” and proposing the replacement of the Argentine National Anthem with what he called a “Latin American homeland anthem”.
The statements were made during an interview in the Kirchnerist activism medium Gelatina, where the leader maintained that there is a striking interpretation regarding the ideological tradition of the movement founded by Juan Domingo Perón.
“There is a false idea that Peronism is nationalism, and that is a lie. Peronism is continentalist and universalist, in accordance with the sound doctrine and jurisprudence of General Perón,” Grabois stated during the conversation.
The leader then elaborated on this position and asserted: “Peronism is not nationalist, it is continentalist”. He then advanced the idea of a regional identity above the strictly national one and claimed: “We are going to have a Latin American anthem”.
