The stories that stop at the declaration of the state of siege the violence of the shock groups of upperclass youth or the sanction of the Social Defense Law do nothing more than divert attention from the most politically relevant phenomenon of the Centennial the truly massive nature of the populations identification with the social and political order of liberal Argentina. that the anarchist claim to present itself as the voice of a silent oppressed people lacked validity. The ambiguous attitude of the socialists celebrating the century of life of the new nation and at the same time denying the legitimacy of the elite that had promoted it was also snubbed.
In light of the enormous popular demonstration those who insist that the Russia Mobile Number List of the Centennial which expelled fewer libertarians than that of or was the cause of the decline of anarchism or attribute this result to the integrating and normalizing force of the democratic politics inaugurated by the reform of should review their arguments. The important thing happened before and the people in the streets in May only confirmed it. More than any other event of those years the Centennial revealed that leftwing critics of the sociopolitical order constituted a minority swimming against the current. Without a doubt the fact that so many protesters participated in the celebration revealed that the political structures on which the oligarchic government was based were too narrow to contain or govern a society mobilized for the patriotic cause.
The Centenary showed that Argentina in demanded a more inclusive electoral system and a more legitimate government. But at the same time and because it was wrapped in the national flag and was erected against the red and black flags the Centennial mobilization conjured up many of the fears raised by a fuller incorporation of the majorities into civic life. It is no coincidence that the Senz Pea Law of which established the secret and mandatory vote the only truly important electoral reform of the oligarchic era and the only one aimed not only at purifying the exercise of suffrage but also at expanding the political body began to be discussed in Congress when the euphoria generated by that resounding triumph of the established order had not yet completely faded.
