TheIron Guard (Spanish:Guardia de Hierro; abbreviated asGH) was an Argentinepolitical organisation[8] with itsheadquarters inBuenos Aires. It followed the political movement ofPeronism,[9] more precisely itsorthodox variant.[1] It was founded in 1962 byAlejandro "Gallego" Álvarez andHéctor Tristán, both members of thePeronist resistance. These two were against the policies ofAugusto Vandor and the dictatorship ofJuan Carlos Onganía.Left-wing members like Roberto Grabois, asocialist, would later join the Iron Guard. Other notable members wereAmelia Podetti (a philosopher and writer),Julio Bárbaro (a politician) and Roberto Roitman (an economist).[8] The Iron Guard was related to theStudent National Front (FEN).[9]
After the death ofJuan Perón, the group was dissolved, although a "sector" led by Álvarez continued its political activities. This sector allied withIsabel Perón in 1975 to avoid a possiblecoup.[8]
