Then the video and speech.

"Workers: nearly two years ago I said from the same balcony which had three honors in my life: being a soldier, that of being a patriot and be the first Argentine worker.

This afternoon, the Executive has signed my application for retirement from active duty Army.

With this, I have voluntarily given to the most distinguished honor can aspire to a soldier carrying palms and laurels General's Office.

This I did because I want to be the Colonel Peron, and put that name to the integral service of authentic Argentine people.

I leave the sacred and honorable uniform handed me the country to wear the uniform of civil and mixed up in that mass produces suffering and sweaty work and greatness of the country.

So I give my final embrace this institution, which is the mainstay of the country: the military.

And I also the first to embrace the great mass, which represents the synthesis of a feeling that he had died in the Republic: the true civility of the Argentine people.

This is people.

This is representing the people suffering the pain of mother earth, we must claim.

It is the people of the country.

It's the same people in this historic square in front of Congress asked to respect their will and their right.

It's the same people that have to be immortal, because there is no treachery or malice of man can shake this town, and feeling great in number.

The true celebration of democracy, represented by a people who march, now, to ask his officials to do their duty to get to the right of the true people.

Many times I have attended meetings of workers.

I have always felt a great satisfaction: but today, I will feel a real pride of Argentina, because I interpret this collective motion as the rebirth of a consciousness of workers, which is all that great and immortal can make to their homeland.

Two years ago I asked for trust. I often said that people whom I sacrifice my time day and night, would betray me.

Let them know today the unworthy pretenders that do not mislead people who help.

So, gentlemen, I take this opportunity as a simple citizen, mixed up in this mass sweaty, shake it deep in my heart, as it could do with my mother.

(At that moment, someone near the balcony shouted, a hug for the old!)

Peron said,

That this unit indestructible and infinite, so that our people not only possess a unity, but to also know worthily defend.

Do you ask you where was I?

I was making a sacrifice that I would a thousand times for you!

I can not end without throwing my warm and fraternal remember our brothers inside, moving and throb in unison with our hearts from all areas of the country.

And now it's time, as always for your Secretary of Labor and Welfare, which was and will fight to see your next door that was it crowned the ambition of my life: that all workers are a little happier.

With so much new emphasis, I ask you not ask me I do not even remember what I have now forgotten.

For men who are not able to forget, nor deserve to be loved and respected by his peers.

And I aspire to be loved by you and do not want to tarnish this act with any bad memories.

I said it was time to board, and remember workers, unite and be more brothers than ever. On the brotherhood of working has to get up our beautiful country, in the unity of all Argentines.

We will incorporate this beautiful day moving mass to each of the sad or unhappy, that mingled with us, look the same mass beautiful and patriotic you are.

I pray also for all workers receive friends fondly this my gratitude for the concerns that everyone has had by this humble man who now speaks to them.

So I told them recently embraced as hug my mother, because you have had the same pains and the same thoughts as my poor old dear have felt these days.

We hope that the days are coming and building peace for the nation.

I know that labor movements had been announced, and now, at this moment, there is no cause for it.

So I ask you, as an older brother, who return to work relaxed and think.

And today I ask you to return calm to their homes, and this once, because I can not say as the Secretary of Labor and, I am asking you to stop day celebrating the glory of that gathering of men who come from work who are the hope of the country more expensive.

I have deliberately left until last, the recommend that before leaving this great assembly, do so carefully.

Remember that there are many women among all workers, which are to be protected here and in life by workers themselves, and finally, remember I'm a little sick care and ask them to remember I need a break I'll take in the Chubut Now, to regain strength and return to fight side by side with you until exhaustion if necessary.

I ask all of us to stay at least fifteen minutes together, because I want to be from this site watching this show drives me sadness I've seen in recent days. "
