Eric Arturo Delvalle

Eric Arturo Delvalle served as the President of Panama from 1985 until he was deposed in a political crisis in 1988. His presidency was fraught with challenges, including economic difficulties and tensions with the military, particularly with Manuel Noriega. Delvalle's attempts to assert civilian control over the military ultimately led to his downfall, as he was removed from office in a coup. His administration is often referenced in discussions about the challenges of governance and the fragility of democracy in Panama during this period.
