Biography
Born in Gualeguay , Entre Ríos , Barroetaveña owed his fame to an article published in La Nación on August 20, 1899, titled '' "¡Tu quoque juventud! En tropel al éxito" — "You too, youth, in the rush for success!" — which criticized young people who supported the regime of Miguel Juárez Celman :
-
- "This affiliation is nothing more than the renunciation of civic life by the young, in favor of absorption into a superior will that converts them into the mere instruments of the Executive" .
The article precipitated a historic political movement that led first to the creation of the Civic Youth Union , of which Barroetaveña was president, then to the creation of the Civic Union in 1890, then to the Revolution of the Park , and in 1891 to the creation of the Radical Civic Union , of which he was a founding member and national deputy on various occasions.
Within the Radical Civic Union he was allied with Leandro Alem and Marcelo T. de Alvear , and tenaciously opposed to Hipólito Yrigoyen .
He left the Radical Civic Union and joined the Democratic Progressive Party . In 1932 he ran for the presidency on behalf of the PDP- PS alliance. [2]
Barroetaveña was an active Freemason and a prominent figure in Argentine Freemasonry. [3]
