ARGENTINA: IMPEACHMENT MOTION
An impeachment motion against President
Maria Estela Peron, introduced late last week, is
gaining support in congress. The motion charges
gross incompetence as well as large-scale misuse
of public funds.
At least three opposition political groupings
have already lined up behind the motion, and the
large,t opposition group, the Radical Civic Union,
seems to be moving in that direction. Parties
allied with the Peronists in the governing coali-
tion are said to favor impeachment also, at least
unofficially.
Recent schisms within the Peronist party may
provoke defections that could ensure passage of
the motion. Late last week, the party formally ex-
pelled Buenos Aires Governor Victorio Calabro, a
prominent unionist and spokesman for those
Peronists who oppose the President. The US em-
bassy reports that his ouster could well provide
the 20 or so Peronist votes needed for passage of
the measure.

Peron's recent actions have led some to
speculate that she is deliberately seeking to
provoke a military coup and thus achieve a kind
of martyrdom. She remains isolated in her
hospital room, taking counsel only from a small
clique of followers of ousted Lopez Rega. During
the period of her hospitalization, Peron has ig-
nored requests from cabinet members that she
meet with them to discuss government business.
Military leaders, who could at any time
remove the President, hesitate to do so lest they
incur widespread popular disaffection as they did
two decades ago when they moved against Juan
Peron. Indeed, military spokesmen have
reportedly told influential civilians not to expect
the armed forces to step in and provide a solution
to the leadership problem. The spokesmen say
they will take over only if the government com-
pletely collapses; they added that if they are forc-
ed to do so, they will not soon re -3...--5(c)) wer to
