Orthodox Peronism, or simply Peronist orthodoxy, is a term which has been applied in Argentina to a current of Peronism nucleated around the sectors that brought together his total follow up of the policies established in the government of the Peron–Peron formula, and that they do not adhere and flatly reject outright revolutionary Peronism. This doctrine ranges from simple centrists, to radical anti-Marxism and anti-Semites of the lopezrreguist Extreme right. Generally erroneously included in the term of the Peronist right, since it does not conform to the right entire justicialist national.
