A Monumento a Alfredo L. Palacios in Plaza Mariano Moreno.
Alfredo Lorenzo Palacios was an Argentine socialist politician born in Buenos Aires and studied law at University of Buenos Aires.
After graduation he became a lawyer and taught at the university until becoming a dean.
n 1902, Palacios was elected to the Buenos Aires' legislature, and in 1904, to the Chamber of Deputies becoming the first socialist in the Argentine Congress and in the American continent.
Palacios helped create many laws including the "Palacios Law" (Ley Palacios) against sexual exploitation, and others regulating child and women labor, working hours and Sunday rest.
A vigorous opponent of the regime of Juan Perón (1946–1955), he was named ambassador to Uruguay for the two years following Perón's overthrow.
After an unsuccessful bid for the presidency in 1958, he won a stunning election to the national Senate from the city of Buenos Aires in 1961 after campaigning as a champion of the Cuban revolution of Fidel Castro.
A charismatic orator and effective legislator, Palacios was a consistent proponent of social justice, especially for women and children, and a vociferous opponent of what he considered the undue influence of foreign investors in the country.
Palacios was the author of numerous essays and books, such as La justicia social (1954), many of which were collections of his parliamentary speeches.
