description Towards the end of the 1960s, the peasantry in the northeast of the country, nucleated around the agro-industrial complexes, witnessed a process of political mobilization. In November 1970 in Chaco the Agrarian Leagues were created, after the confluence of the Union of Young Cooperatives and the Rural Movement of Catholic Action. They promoted the distribution and titling of land, the regulation of commercialization and production by the State. They faced the monopolies of commercialization and landlord power. Participants in the process of popular radicalization, the Leagues suffered political persecution since the beginning of 1975. Accused of being subversives, their main leaders were arrested and the bases harassed by para-police forces. With the 1976 coup they were dismantled. This article analyzes the characteristics that repression assumed in the countryside as of the 1976 coup d'état, taking into account the continuities and ruptures that the institutional breakdown in the dynamics and characteristics of state and para-state violence on the Leagues since the beginning of the decade. The work aims to reflect on the way in which State terrorism was registered regionally before and after the coup.

Hacia fines de los años sesenta el campesinado del noreste del país, nucleado alrededor de los complejos agroindustriales, asistió a un proceso de movilización política. En noviembre de 1970 en Chaco se crearon las Ligas Agrarias, tras la confluencia de la Unión de Jóvenes cooperativistas y el Movimiento Rural de Acción Católica. Impulsaron la distribución y titulación de la tierra, la regulación de la comercialización y la producción por parte del Estado. Enfrentaron a los monopolios de la comercialización y al poder terrateniente. Partícipes del proceso de radicalización popular, las Ligas sufrieron la persecución política desde inicios de 1975. Acusados de subversivos, sus principales dirigentes fueron detenidos y las bases acosadas por fuerzas parapoliciales. Con el golpe de Estado de 1976 fueron desmanteladas. Este artículo analiza las características que asumió la represión en el campo a partir del golpe de Estado de 1976, atendiendo a las continuidades y rupturas que supuso el quiebre institucional en la dinámica y características de la violencia estatal y para estatal sobre las Ligas ya desde comienzos de la década. El trabajo apunta a reflexionar sobre la el modo en que se inscribió regionalmente el terrorismo de Estado antes y después del golpe.
