The Evita Movement (Spanish: Movimiento Evita) is a social, piquetero and political movement of Argentina, which is defined by Peronist, national, popular, and revolutionary ideology.[7] Its name was adopted as a tribute to the Argentine popular political leader and First Lady Eva Perón.
It was created in 2004 and was part of the Front for Victory. Its general secretary is Emilio Pérsico.[8] Other major figures of the movement are National Deputies Leonardo Grosso (former chairman of the Movement's in the lower house), the journalist Fernando "Chino" Navarro, Gildo Onorato, Silvia Horne, Remo Carlotto, Lucila De Ponti, and Araceli Ferreyra, former senators Juan Manuel Abal Medina Jr. and Teresita Luna, and Evita-UTEP liaison Esteban Castro.[8]
In 2016 it separated from the parliamentary bloc Front for Victory, forming one of its own called Peronism for Victory.[9] Now, it supports Alberto Fernández and is part of Frente de Todos, a new Peronist coalition.[10] In 2023 it created a new political party, "La Patria de los comunes", to be part of the Frente de Todos in a more formal capacity.[11]
