Sumario:The following article proposes to analyse the dynamics between officialdom and political opposition through two situations that took place during the radicalgovernment of José A. Ceballos in Córdoba. One side, the prosecutors’s kidnapping and the fraud made in March 25th, 1930 in the provincial legisture. On the other, the shout out committed during in a democrat meting in Santa Rosa the 20th April of the same year.We consider the fraud happened in two ways. First as catalyst of UCR internal problems. Secondly as an opposition’s element to compare the provincial government to the national one and concatenate this episode with some others of fraud and violence that took place then.In its turn, after the bloody ending of the Rio Primero democrat act, the party that had reorganize entirely in 1928 to face the future elections with the UCR, began to exclamate the direct action as strategy before a government that it was called for the political opposition as criminal.Both episodes enlarged  the public opinion’s generally discomfort and they bore though the Ceballos government’s legitimity, which was questioned by sectors of his own party.
