National Day of the Villager Identity in Argentina

The law, promoted by the deputies of La Cámpora, was approved in November 2014, in homage to the birth of Father Carlos Mugica.

His vocation of humility developed hand in hand with his affiliation to Peronism in action and feeling. When he heard about the creation of the Movement of Priests of the Third World, he did not hesitate to join it and contribute to its task. Much of his social work was carried out in Villa 31 of Retiro, he was the founder of the Cristo Obrero parish and above all he was a man who "lived for others", on which the text of the project is based. Mugica affirmed that "it cannot be that a few have so much and others so little. Without hatred in our hearts, uniting all of us, we must fight... so that there is not a single Argentinean who does not have decent housing, abundant food for him and his children and the opportunity to acquire a culture that makes him feel truly useful to his country. There is nothing greater than this struggle".
