The way I heard it, Juan Peron was having his politically-ambitious nephew tag along with him to learn the ropes. The nephew saw him tell his Right-wing constituents "You're absolutely right" in the morning, and tell the Left-wing "You're absolutely right" in the afternoon. Then Tio Juan asked the nephew his opinion.
"Tio Juan, This is totally unacceptable!" he emoted. "You agree with diametrically opposed positions, you pretend you're on everybody's side. This is so wrong!" And Tio Juan nodded sagely and replied, "You're absolutely right."
“You agree with diametrically opposed positions, you pretend you’re on everybody’s side. This is so wrong!”
That just shows that he was a cynical liar. That’s not unusual.
It seems more important to me that he was a Nazi. A real Nazi, who supported Hitler and wanted Argentina to enter WWII on Germany’s side.
And he actually was a child molester. He married the mina (prostitute) Eva Duarte as a beard because even his supporters were losing patience with the things he did to prepubescent girls.
Peron was filth in every way imaginable, but the author seems to approve of him, and tries to find some legitimacy in his dishonesty.
