It's about Eva or Evita Duarte,an Argentinian politician born in 1919.
She worked as actress for Radio Belgrano in inferior rolls in 1942.
When Peron had to give up his function under the pression of the army,
Evita managed to win the workers to choose openly for Peron;
so that the government was obliged to restore the restoration of Peron.
Evita got married Peron in oct.1945.After Peron became president of the Republic
in1946,Evita played a big roll in the politics and social live of Argentinië.
She became minister of social affaires.In the beginning she fought for the
women-vote-right,wich came in1947.Evita was the protector of the
Descamisados( de hemdlozen),a big group of poorest workers.
She set up a lot of shools,hospitals,rest houses and she supported trade-unions.
Evita started the Maria-Eva Duarte-welfarefund to move up the social
level of the population.She made different speeches to the Argentinuan's
people,and wrote the book "LA-RAZON-DE-MI-VIDA.
An incurable disease manifested on her in 1951,and she died a year later,
hardly 33 years old.Evita's body has been embalmed and showed in a glazed
coffin on the trade-unionhouse.She was very much loved by the Argentin's,
only the Jet Set disliked her. Later when Peron was banished, Evita's body
moved to Italy,Espain and at last again in Argentië when Peron became president
a second time in 1973.
I told you this story because I like the song and the music of
"Don't cry for me Argentina".
