Yrigoyenism
Yrigoyenism refers to the political ideology and movement associated with Hipólito Yrigoyen, an Argentine politician who served as President of Argentina in the early 20th century. It emphasizes social justice, democracy, and the rights of the working class, advocating for reforms that benefit the lower and middle classes. Yrigoyenism is often linked to the Radical Civic Union, the political party founded by Yrigoyen.
The movement gained prominence during the Radical Revolution of 1905 and continued to influence Argentine politics throughout the 20th century. Yrigoyen's policies included expanding suffrage, promoting labor rights, and implementing social welfare programs, which aimed to address the needs of marginalized populations in Argentina.
