This article describes Peronism's internal life in the interior of the country by following the dynamics of the most important political actors coming from radicalism and coming from the vernacular trade union world in a local space. Through the analysis of conflicts and agreements around electoral moments and partisan disputes in the province of Mendoza, it verifies how Peronism transformed in a local space between 1945 and 1955. The main contribution of the research is its call for attention to think actors as active participants in the configuration of disputes and situated solutions involving them. It is argued that if Peronism adopted more complicated ways of dealing with internal problems throughout time, it was also as a consequence of the conveniences and adjustments of the provincial actors themselves, who temporarily and partially benefited from these resolutions in a variety of situations which need to be specifically investigated. These conclusions are obtained through the documentary analysis of graphic local press, from a pragmatic history perspective of the sources, that is, from an approach that considers them, above all, as a present vindication of the action giving rise to them.

Keywords : peronism; politics; factionalism; verticality; Mendoza-Argentina.
