They were caused by the constitutional crisis of power, when President Jorge Serrano tried to seize complete power in the country, abolishing the current Constitution, dissolving parliament and the Supreme Court, introduced censorship and tried to restrict civil liberties [1] . However, the coup was not supported by society and at the end of the ends Serrano was forced to leave the post and flee the country [1] .
As a result of voting in Congress, Ramiro Leon Carpio was elected president, and Arturo Erbrüger , supported by the army, was elected vice-president [2] .
