00:00The politics of Latin American countries is full of complications, surprises and clumsiness.
00:08I will decree the advance of Christmas for the 1st of October.
00:12Start the Christmas!
00:14Welcome to Watch Mojo Español.
00:16I am Yaki and this is a list of failed coups in Latin America.
00:23Evo Morales and the re-election.
00:26In February 2016, a constitutional referendum was held to evaluate the possibility of re-election of the Bolivian head of state.
00:36The results said no.
00:38National results at 100%, yes, 48.70% and no, 51.30%.
00:47The president was asked if he would respect the results.
00:50From this moment on, you can tell the Bolivians to leave the presidential chair to give it to someone from their own party or opposition.
00:58I just told you, we respect the results of the referendum.
01:01Anyone else?
01:05And did he respect it? What do you think? Well, no.
01:08The following year, the Constitutional Tribunal, Plurinacional, authorized the re-election of Evo Morales for the next election,
01:16since they considered that the complaint that a journalist had made to Morales for alleged trafficking of influences days before the referendum could have influenced the results.
01:28The mother of the son of President Evo Morales works in the company that has the largest amount of money in business with the United States.
01:42So Evo ended up not knowing the result of the no of a plebiscite that he himself had called.
01:50Juan José Zúñiga and the tank.
01:53The general of the Bolivian army used a military tank to enter the government palace in 2024, with other heavily armed soldiers,
02:05and it got to where President Luis Arce was.
02:09He said he wanted to restore democracy and free the country from the corrupt elite that had kidnapped him.
02:17Enough of the outrage, enough of destroying our country.
02:22But Arce appointed new army commanders, the air force and the army,
02:27and the new army leader ordered the soldiers to withdraw to the government palace and return to their barracks.
02:35I ask, I order, I propose that all the personnel who are mobilized in the streets must return to their units.
02:48The coup attempt lasted less than four hours, and to close with a golden broom while he was detained,
02:55Zúñiga accused President Arce of having made a coup to increase his popularity.
03:02But we are going to guarantee the right to the non-repetition of the Bolivian people,
03:08and that these people who have had the audacity to generate a seduction of troops be sentenced.
03:15Hugo Chávez and his first attempt.
03:18On February 4, 1992, Chávez tried to attack the Miraflores Palace in Caracas, Venezuela.
03:26For what reason? The president at that time, Carlos Andrés Pérez Rodríguez, had corruption scandals.
03:32He finally had to surrender and was in prison for two years.
03:36We here in Caracas, we can't control power.
03:40But that's where his myth began to be built.
03:43After leaving prison for an insult, he began his political career,
03:47and four years later, he won the presidential elections and never left power.
03:5414 years of presidency in which Venezuela went from being the richest country in oil on earth
04:01to the economic collapse of the Caribbean country.
04:03Who did not have a good time was Diosdado Cabello, who later became Chávez's vice president,
04:09since a former Venezuelan police officer told on a television program how he found him after the failed coup.
04:16They took him out of the car, the guy was shaking, all terrified, pale, pale face, he couldn't even say his name.
04:23And then I see him all wet to the knees, and I say, what happened to this one?
04:28Then the boy tells me, no, no, he urinated.
04:31So imagine, you.
04:32Cabello urinated in fear.
04:35The night of February 4.
04:36Three presidents in seven days.
04:392020 was a tough year for the health of Peruvians due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
04:46but it was also for their political health.
04:49After the entry of a new Congress after President Martín Vizcarra closed the previous one constitutionally,
04:57I have decided to dissolve the Congress constitutionally and call for the elections of Congressmen of the Republic.
05:09the new Congressmen decided to vacate the president for permanent moral impossibility.
05:15The Congress has approved the vacancy motion against President Vizcarra.
05:22Who was in charge was the president of the Congress at that time, Manuel Merino.
05:27Congressmen, Peruvians have learned that the difficulties and problems that democracy can have, can only be solved with more democracy.
05:38But the Peruvians went out to protest because they considered the departure of Vizcarra unfair.
05:44Unfortunately, the new government responded with a lot of repression and Merino decided to resign,
05:50so that the Congress elects a new president, Francisco Sagasti.
05:55In these unprecedented moments of crisis, it is fundamental, it is absolutely necessary to maintain calm, tranquility and equanimity.
06:09And that's how the Peruvians had three presidents in seven days.
06:15The Peruvian Congress again.
06:18A year before Peru had three presidents in seven days, there was a president who was in power for a day.
06:25A few hours, actually, what happened?
06:28The president was again Martín Vizcarra.
06:32After the resignation of President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski for corruption complaints,
06:37I think that the best thing for the country is that I resign from the presidency of the Republic.
06:45Vizcarra came to power for being its vice president.
06:48As soon as he entered, he began to take a series of measures against corruption.
06:53In that context, he closes the Congress.
06:56Do you remember?
06:57I have decided to dissolve the Congress constitutionally and call for the elections of Congressmen of the Republic.
07:08Well, the dissolved Congress decides to vacate Vizcarra and put a new president, Mercedes Araoz.
07:16Mercedes was the president of the Congress at that time and also second vice president of Pedro Pablo Kuczynski.
07:23But a dissolved Congress can't do anything, so the presidency of Mercedes for a few hours was not valid.
07:32The null competition of Daniel Ortega.
07:35It is almost a classic of our times that after a presidential election, the ghosts of fraud appear.
07:44I hand over the presidential belt to anyone who wins from me in the UN in a clean way, not in fraud.
07:51But this time the candidacy of the opponent Luis Callejas for the presidency of Nicaragua was annulled by a failure of the Supreme Court without sufficient justification.
08:03His opponent was Daniel Ortega, who had been in power since 2007.
08:09Other parties were presented, but all allies of Ortega, who had obtained less than 10% of the votes in the previous elections.
08:19So Ortega practically had no competition and won.
08:23Hmm... Suspicious.
08:25We have not reached the end yet, but almost.

08:36Very well, let's go to the end.
08:39Pedro Castillo and traffic.
08:41Harassed by his alleged acts of corruption, the Peruvian president Pedro Castillo made a decision.
08:48Temporarily dissolve the Congress of the Republic and establish an exceptional emergency government.
08:56But he did it without the support of the national police or the armed forces.
09:00As expected, the Congress backed him.
09:04They have voted in favor of 101 congressmen.
09:09Completely alone, the former president went to the Embassy of Mexico to exile himself,
09:14but he was arrested on one of the avenues with more traffic from Lima,
09:19where Peruvian police made the easiest arrest of his life.
09:24And were you aware of these events?
09:27Do you remember other attempts at coups d'état or takeover of power in our countries that we have not mentioned?
