In this paper we will analyze the position of the Movimiento Izquierda Revolucionaria (Praxis), regarding the peronist movement. The works of Silvio Frondizi published between 1946 and 1956, with his analysis of Peron´s regime, were the starting point of that position, but towards the end of 1957 there is a need to go further and take a stance regarding the peronist movement itself. The organization postulated, since 1958, that this movement was in "crisis and disintegration", thesis that presided over the following specific analysis. Throughout 1958 and 1959 the MIR-P delimited itself from the incipient “left peronism” groups and discouraged all expectations on those. However, the political turn that Frondizi promoted since the end of 1960, based on the search of a “national path” for the revolution, notably modified the discourse on peronism and guided the Praxis group to establish affinities and converge with some of the new groups and leaders of its left wing.
