Resumen
El artículo analiza la campaña electoral de Juan Manuel Casella en la provincia de Buenos Aires en 1987, en un contexto signado por el desgaste del radicalismo como fuerza oficialista y la creciente nacionalización de la contienda subnacional. El trabajo examina las estrategias discursivas desplegadas por el candidato radical en torno a la defensa del orden democrático, la legalidad institucional y la interpretación del pasado reciente. Metodológicamente, el corpus de análisis se centra en las intervenciones públicas, materiales de campaña y documentos partidarios, con el objetivo de reconstruir los sentidos políticos en disputa durante la campaña. El artículo sostiene como hipótesis que la estrategia discursiva de Casella se estructuró a partir de la reactivación del imaginario democrático fundacional de 1983 y de la continuidad del liderazgo alfonsinista, identificando al radicalismo como garante de la democracia y la Nación. Sin embargo, se argumenta que esta apelación al pasado mostró límites significativos en la coyuntura de 1987, particularmente a partir de las tensiones abiertas en torno a la política de derechos humanos con la sanción de las leyes de Punto Final, y muy particularmente, con la Obediencia Debida.
This article analyzes the 1987 gubernatorial campaign of Juan Manuel Casella in the Province of Buenos Aires, in a context marked by the weakening of the Radical Party as the incumbent force and the increasing nationalization of subnational electoral competition. It examines the discursive strategies deployed by the Radical candidate around the defense of democratic order, institutional legality, and interpretations of the recent past. Methodologically, the analysis draws on public speeches, campaign materials, and party documents in order to reconstruct the political meanings and forms of electoral interpellation articulated during the campaign. The article advances the hypothesis that Casella’s discursive strategy was structured around the reactivation of the democratic imaginary forged in 1983 and the continuity of Alfonsín’s leadership, identifying the Radical Party as the guarantor of democracy and the Nation. However, it argues that this appeal to the past revealed significant limitations in the 1987 political conjuncture, particularly in light of the tensions surrounding human rights policy and the redefinition of the democratic boundary.
