"oficialistas"

In addition to the information sent to you
earlier today, please find attached the following articles which
contain information which may be of interest. As discussed by
telephone, the reports currently available to the IRBDC concerning
the abovementioned split in the Peronist party refer to the
"renovador" and the "oficialista" faction. However, these more
recent documents which report the victory of the "renovador"
faction in the 3 November 1985 elections over the other Peronist
factions make references to an "orthodox" faction. The "orthodox"
faction mentioned in these reports appears to be the "oficialista"
faction discussed in the earlier articles on the Peronist party
divisions, although no clear reference to when the term "orthodox"
started to be used could be found among the sources currently
available to the IRBDC.
