^ A: The party has been described as catch-all,[7] syncretic or a "third way" party,[10][11] as well as centre-left,[12] left-wing,[13] and leftist.[14]
This diversity in classifying the Justicialist Party is caused by Peronism historically stretching from far-left to far-right views.[15] The party is classified as centre-left or left-wing because of the dominating position of Kirchnerism; Steven Levitsky notes that under Kirchnerism, the party "shifted programmatically to the left".[16] Lastly, Juan Perón, the founder of the Peronist movement, is considered to have been ideologically left-wing.[17][18]

Former president Alberto Fernández is a member of the Justicialist Party. Former presidents Juan Domingo Perón, Héctor Cámpora, Raúl Lastiri, Isabel Perón, Carlos Menem, Ramón Puerta, Adolfo Rodríguez Saá, Eduardo Camaño, Eduardo Duhalde, Néstor Kirchner, and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner were members too.

Justicialists have been the largest party in Congress since 1987.

Many members of this party however support Kirchnerism, the left-wing populist section of the party, and is critical of Peronism.
