About José López Rega
José López Rega was an Argentine politician who served as Minister of Social Welfare from 1973 to 1975, first under Juan Perón and continuing under Isabel Perón, Juan Perón's third wife and presidential successor. Lopez Rega exercised an allegedly Rasputin-like power and influence over Isabel Perón during her presidency, and used both this and his unique access to become the de facto political boss of Argentina. His orthodox Peronist and far-right politics and interest in occultism earned him the nickname El Brujo. López Rega had one daughter, Norma Beatriz, who went on to become the spouse of President Raúl Lastiri. After winning Isabel's trust, López Rega travelled to Spain, where he worked first for Perón's security before becoming the couple's personal secretary.
