Juan Carlos Onganía
Juan Carlos Onganía was an Argentine military officer and politician who served as the de facto President of Argentina from 1966 to 1970. He came to power through a coup that ousted President Arturo Umberto Illia, leading a government characterized by strict censorship and repression of dissent. His administration is often associated with authoritarianism and a lack of political freedoms, which ultimately led to widespread opposition and his eventual removal from office. His legacy remains controversial in Argentina, particularly regarding the impact of his regime on the arts and culture.
