Florencio Harmodio Arosemena

Florencio Harmodio Arosemena was a Panamanian politician and lawyer who served as the President of Panama from 1928 to 1931. His administration was marked by accusations of inefficiency and corruption, leading to a significant backlash from various sectors of society. His close ties with the United States and the prevailing oligarchic structure of governance during his presidency contributed to growing nationalist sentiments, ultimately culminating in a coup d'état by the Movement of Communal Action in 1931.
