Most of the eight million inhabitants of Buenos Aires thoroughly agree on two things: a) the last Peronist administrations were anarchical, corrupt, and inefficient, and b) the present regime is a welcome change but probably too soft to bring the economy out of its tailspin and harness the unruly labor unions.
“A wild, out-of-control Peronism destroyed our country,” says a writer and theatrical producer. “I cannot forget the nightmare,” says an employee of the Quilmes brewery; “terrorists would appear and ask for an executive by name. If he was out they would call the next in-rank and shoot him then and there. We never knew who would be next. . .”
