Enrique Mosca

He vetoed the replacement of the provincial constitution for the sake of avoiding future conflict; but responded to strikes among logging industry workers by sanctioning the formation of paramilitary groups against them.

[2] This record helped earn Mosca an appointment as Federal Interventor of Mendoza Province in 1924 when President Marcelo Torcuato de Alvear removed the progressive governor, Carlos Washington Lencinas.

He was named head of the National Education Council in 1926 and was among the few Antipersonalists to win a seat in Congress in the 1928 elections, when Yrigoyen was returned to the presidency in a landslide.

[6] A coup d'état in 1943 led to rise of the populist new Labor Minister, Col. Juan Perón, who later forced the junta to call elections for early 1946.

UCR leader José Tamborini led an unusually diverse coalition against the charismatic Perón, and named Mosca his running mate.
