Page "Arturo Frondizi" Paragraph 38

Following Perón's fall in 1955, this loyalty continued intact.

Perón, in exile and initially stapped for funds, still wielded control over his movement and over the trade unions.

The new peronism that emerged, " resistance Peronism ," was based on strikes and violent manifestations by the trade unions against the state, and the main objective was to destabilize any government that was not Peronist.

Following a relatively calm 1958, Perón's agreement with Frondizi soured when the latter opened oil exploration contracts to foreign bidders, and particularly during Alsogaray's " winter " of 1959.

The constant resistance of organised labor provoked increasing friction with the military, which threatened the president with a coup no less than 26 times ( not including 6 attempts by renegade generals ).
