However, the idea of the "organized community" and the new rights of the working class represented in the Peronist propaganda, concealed the persecution and discrimination of many opposition groups, violations of individual rights, limitations to the freedom of the press and the violation of the Constitution.The radios, newspapers, movies, theater, demonstrations, flags, banners, posters, posters, music, buttons, uniforms and books created an environment that fostered the division of Argentine society between anti-Peronist and Peronists that would last for decades.
