15.
ON THE BALCONY OF THE CASA ROSADA
(PERON has just won a sweeping victory in the 1946
Presidential Election. This is the first public appearance
by PERON and EVA since that triumph.)
VICE PRESIDENT
People of Argentina!
Your newly elected President-- Juan Peron!
(The CROWD begins to chant "Peron! Peron!")
PERON
Argentinos! Argentinos! We are all workers now! Fighting
against our common enemies-- Poverty, social injustice,
foreign domination of our industries! Reaching for our
common goals-- Our independence, our dignity, our pride!
Let the world know that our great nation is awakening and
that its heart beats in the humble bodies of Juan
Peron--and his wife, the first lady of Argentina, Eva
Duarte de Peron!
(The CROWD by now are beginning to chant "Evita!
Evita!")
