This video talks about the intense support Peron had from his supporter. Almost 500,000 workers protested in Buenos Aires demanding him to be taken out of jail.

Speech to peronists
I support every peronist in our organization. From peronist to peronist, there is no stranger. There is no social justice without the economic independence we bring Argentina! The only truth is reality. Us peronists bring reform to this civilian government. Unity gives us strength!
