Juan Carlos OnganÃa
Juan Carlos Onganía ( born March 17, 1914 in Marcos Paz, † 8 June 1995 in Buenos Aires ) was an Argentine military and politicians. He was 1966-1970 de facto president of the country and established the dictatorship of the so-called Revolución Argentina.
Life
Onganía occurred in 1931 in the Argentine army. In 1959 he was appointed General. He belonged to at the time of the so-called blue faction of the military, which was disposed towards the Peronist movement relatively friendly and this looked as a bulwark against communism. The red fraction, however, was clear -minded antiperonistisch.
In 1963 he was appointed commander of the Argentine armed forces. From dissatisfaction with politics Arturo Umberto Iliad Onganía organized the 1966 coup and took over the office of President.
After his presidency Onganía came mainly because of two incidents in the headlines. For one, he remarked in the process of national reorganization - the military dictatorship between 1976 and 1983 - critical of the human rights violations of the former government. In 1995, he practiced public criticism of Carlos Menem because of the widespread corruption in the government and tried to distinguish himself as a presidential candidate. However, he was tried and sentenced to house arrest for defamation. In the same year he died of a stroke.
Tenure
Onganías dictatorship was the one of a very conservative social policies, on the other, marked by economic failures, which provoked the displeasure of the population and eventually led to his resignation in 1970. Its economy minister Adalbert Krieger Vasena tried to combine the flow of so-called Desarrollismo that should bring in westernized industrial countries over a forced industrialization, the transformation of the Latin American countries with liberal measures to combat inflation. As he thus failed however, arose in the late sixties to popular uprisings like the Cordobazo in Córdoba in 1969, which ushered in his resignation. Also made headlines Onganías harsh repression of student protest movements and the rock music that began to establish itself in 1967. In particular, the Noche de los Bastones Largos ( night of the long batons ) on July 28, 1966 went there in the story, as Onganía protests by students and university professors against the violation of the autonomy of universities by his government with great severity was reflected by the police.
Unlike the dictatorship between 1976 and 1983, the government had to Onganías limited participation that have been identified by the keyword Participacionismo. The system consisted of committees of the various sectors of the economy, which could have an influence on government policy limited.
