December 20, 2001 marks the end of a government in freefall, but also a day of tragedy as violent repression to protests results in the loss of 39 lives.

New minister Cavallo's plan to rescue the country’s troubling economy with IMF support faces a major setback after 9/11; talk of a devaluation begins to build.

Duhalde maneuvers to form an opposition and meets with the IMF in hopes of having his moment.

The president's declaration fails to quell the unrest as people from all walks of life take to the streets in protest and unite with demands for the government’s removal.

2023-06-07 · 32 min
The Argentine crisis hits its peak on December 20. Government forces employ violence to repress the protests, after being given the order to clear Plaza de Mayo and indiscriminately detain whomever. Peronism rejects the government’s calls for national unity and the only recourse left for the president is to resign.

Will We all Triumph Together?

Peronism oversees the transition while the president of the Senate assumes the presidency on an interim basis. Behind the scenes, a debate takes place on whether to call early elections.
