Is "expulsion" appropriate?[edit]

I can well believe that "expulsion" is an accurate translation from the standard Spanish term for the event, but the implication that this group were unwillingly forced out does not seem to represent what is described in this article. It seems more the case that Montoneros demonstrators walked out voluntarily in protest and this was to the inconvenience of Peron: "At that point, Montoneros began to leave the plaza, with Perón still talking. ... This unprecedented situation forced Perón to make a shorter speech..." So, if "expulsion" is the standard term for this event, perhaps as deliberate political propaganda to imply that Peron was in control, this mismatch should be explicitly discussed in the article. If it is not the standard term, then I suggest that the article is renamed. Jmchutchinson (talk) 06:21, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
