Transitions to Constitutional Regimens
Latin America Solidarity
People focused on day to day and neglected concerns such as integration. But, on the
other hand, people became more aware of Latin American belonging
The dictatorships and economic difficulties caused people’s mobility from the Southern Cone to Mexico and other parts of the continent
The Southern Cone
In 1980, the dictatorship of Uruguay was defeated in a referendum that convened to
remain in power, and the country returned the constitutional regime
The Argentine military
government reached a situation of extreme unpopularity
Trying to hold on, he embarked on
the adventure of war with Britain.
In Chile, Pinochet dictatorship convened a plebiscite in 1988, in an attempt to prolong
power. He was defeated and the country regained the legal regime in a few years
The
Brazilian military began, in the 80s, a gradual process of returning to the rule of law in stages
The last dictatorship to fall was that of Stroessner in 1989 in Paraguay
Andean Countries
In 1979, the new Constitution of Ecuador entered into force and the government elected began its management
In Peru the dictatorship left the power and a civil government was established
In Bolivia, the process of establishing the constitutional system was altered by several dictatorial coups
Colombia remained with a constitutional regime but with a strong presence of armed insurrectional organizations
Directed Democracies
Elections were held and citizen guarantees were enforced. But that is not why they entered
full democratic systems. The Armed Forces maintained influence on the regimes
Democracy implies the validity of real guarantees and social justice for the people, respect for diversity and the creation of a democratic culture.
Central America and the Caribbean
In Nicaragua, the dictator Somoza, who had maintained his family predominance for
decades, supported by the United States
In some Central American countries, the dictatorial regimes were defeated, but in some cases they reoccurred. In other cases, they remained and the repression continued
Insurrectional movements appeared in El Salvador
In Panama, progressive military dictator Omar Torrijos died in a plane crash
Return to Constitutional Life
The struggles for the democracy of Latin America, together with the economic failures
of the military regimes, created conditions for the return to the rule of law in Latin America
The
dictatorships situation became increasingly uncomfortable.
Gradually the military dictatorships
fell.
