Resumen:
The aim of this paper is to analyse and compare the processes of construction of a ‘people’ by the articulation of demands, in relation to the development of the polarization and dichotomization of the political arena that leaded to the triumph of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) in Mexico and Peron in Argentina. Both processes achieved to divided the political arena in an antagonistic way. Further, in the Argentinian case, we could affirm that Peron has become an ‘empty signifier’ (where his name has been transformed into a mythical figure). The political arena is still divided into Peronist and anti-Peronist groups. For the last 14 years, in Mexico the field has been separated into Obradorist and anti-Obradorist.
