Evita's embalmed body was removed by the military junta from its resting place (the CGT headquarters), and the corpse was urinated on, mutilated and sexually abused; it would later be taken to Milan, Italy, and buried in secret under a fake name for almost 15 years. They also exaggerated Perón's crimes and sought to portray him as a degenerate monster, although they also legitimately exposed some dark aspects of Perón, like, for example, his [[pedophilia|sexual relationship with a thirteen-year-old girl]]. | Evita's embalmed body was removed by the military junta from its resting place (the CGT headquarters), and the corpse was urinated on, mutilated and sexually abused; it would later be taken to Milan, Italy, and buried in secret under a fake name for almost 15 years.

Juan Perón would spend the next 18 years in exile as guest of some of the most infamous tyrants in Ibero-American history: [[Alfredo Stroessner]] in Paraguay, [[Anastasio Somoza Debayle]] in Nicaragua, [[Marcos Pérez Jiménez]] in Venezuela, [[Rafael Trujillo]] in the Dominican Republic, and [[Francisco Franco]] in Spain.

Meanwhile, the Peronists in Argentina would start a years-long resistance against the military dictatorships to allow Perón to come back from exile, which often included [[terrorism]], guerrilla warfare, and political assassinations. Some neo-fascist, anti-semitic, Peronist terrorist groups like the [[Tacuara Nationalist Movement]] or that of [[Rodolfo Galimberti]] would later be absorbed by the [[Montoneros]], the radical left-wing arm of the Peronist movement. Their most famous action was the 1970 [[kidnapping]] and execution of former dictator [[Pedro Eugenio Aramburu]], in retaliation for the 1956 massacre of 31 Peronists in a garbage dump near the town of José León Suárez. | Meanwhile, the Peronists in Argentina would start a years-long resistance against the military dictatorships to allow Perón to come back from exile, which often included [[terrorism]], guerrilla warfare, and political assassinations.
