Sumario:The purpose of this article is to analyze the humorous column "Cartas a mi ñaña" during the military government of 1943-1946, considering some topics such as the representation of governments, the ways of doing politics, the conception of political parties and the people, the relationship of the popular sectors with politics, and the role of trade unions. The guiding hypothesis of this work is that these themes were modified in the midst of the political situation, and specifically the pre-electoral period of 1946, in which its creator Miguel Hynes O'Connor was running for legislator. Furthermore, under the interpretative matrix civilization-barbarism and from the political humor, a self-styled progressive and pro-democratic sector contributed to cement derogatory images of the relationship between politics and the popular sectors that persist to this day. "Letters" will be approached as a prism to observe the Peronism-antiperonism topic and the tensions that this tandem enclosed from certain liberal political ideals permeated by class divides.
