Paraguayan Coup
On February 2, 1989 in South America, the Paraguayan people experienced the overthrow of their President of 35 years: Alfredo Stroessner.
As a mother and Peace Corps Volunteer employed as a physical therapist in the capital city, Asunción I share my views on that day when the sounds of canons and gun shots were witnessed by anyone present in the downtown area of this city on that day. Denice
Note
Many coup d’etat occurs in the history of humanity and there are differences between the one that happened in the U.S. on 11/10/1898 or others in Latin America. Negotiated coups like the Stroessner in Paraguay, the suspected one in Venezuela in 2026, or otherwise, they tent to undermine democratic values, the orden institutional and the subjugation of the population.
