Every October 17, the world remembers key events in the fight against poverty and the political history of Argentina. I discovered that it is commemorated and why it is important to remember it.
Today, October 17, we celebrate the World Day for the Eradication of Povertya date that invites us to reflect on inequality and social justice at a global level. In Argentina, it is also commemorated Peronist Loyalty Dayremembering the 1945 mobilization that demanded the release of the then vice president Juan Domingo Peron. These events highlight the importance of the fight for the rights and dignity of people, marking a milestone in the political and social history of the country.
Furthermore, the anniversaries of October 17 bring together a series of births, deaths and other events that achieved a place in collective memory and national or world history. Over the years, this date witnessed significant events that left marks in various areas, from politics to culture.
