The political use of the gaucho, which was revitalized with intensity in the thirties, has founded a new chapter in the Buenos Aires legislative debates between 1947 and 1948. The conservative politicians have boasted tutelage over the gaucho since the institution of the “Día de la Tradición” in 1939. However, the emergence of Peronism challenged that relationship. Against the progressive identification between Juan Perón and the creole, the legislators of the radical party presented a project to build a monument to the gaucho. Thus, they were disputing the guardianship of the “argentinidad”.
