The Argentinian Anti-Communist Alliance: Analysis of its Repressive Trajectory and Articulations

Since the 1980s, there has been a common sense in Argentine society about the Alianza Anticomunista Argentina (Triple A) that tends to regard it as the organization that coordinated the illegal repression during the third Peronism (1973-1983) and whose actions depended exclusively on the designs of...

Análisis de su trayectoria y articulaciones represivas López de la Torre, Carlos Fernando Triple A Parastatal represion Death squads Counterinsurgency Third Peronismo Triple A Represión paraestatal Escuadrones de la muerte Complejo contrainsurgente Tercer Peronismo Since the 1980s, there has been a common sense in Argentine society about the Alianza Anticomunista Argentina (Triple A) that tends to regard it as the organization that coordinated the illegal repression during the third Peronism (1973-1983) and whose actions depended exclusively on the designs of the minister José López Rega. This article seeks to problematize these interpretations from two thematic axis: the historical trajectory of Triple A, and the articulations established with other repressive agents of the time. These themes will allow us to observe the complexity of this death squad from the procedural nature of its organizational and repressive evolution, as well as from the strategic interests that guided its relations within the repressive framework. The work shows how Triple A evolved in its structure and violent practices according to the changes in the political context and the counterinsurgent repressive process. In addition, three interpretive models of the type of sustained articulation were formulated by the squad: rapport, complementarity, and divergence.   Desde la década de 1980 existe en la sociedad argentina un sentido común sobre la Alianza Anticomunista Argentina (Triple A), que tiende a mirarla como la organización que coordinó la represión ilegal durante el tercer peronismo (1973-1983) y cuyo accionar dependió exclusivamente de los designios del ministro José López Rega. El presente artículo busca problematizar estas interpretaciones a partir de dos ejes temáticos: la trayectoria histórica de la Triple A y las articulaciones establecidas con otros agentes represivos de la época. Dichas temáticas permitirán observar la complejidad de este escuadrón de la muerte desde el carácter procesual de su evolución organizativa y represiva como a partir de los intereses estratégicos que guiaron sus relaciones al interior del entramado represivo. El trabajo muestra cómo la Triple A evolucionó en su estructura y prácticas violentas acorde a los cambios en el contexto político y el proceso represivo contrainsurgente. Además, se formulan tres modelos interpretativos del tipo de articulación sostenida por el escuadrón: compenetración, complementariedad y divergencia.
