Declaration of presidential vacancy due to moral incapacity
Parliament declares presidential vacancy due to moral incapacity after coup d'état
The impeached Parliament, in accordance with constitutional legality, declared the presidential vacancy due to moral incapacity. The pronouncement issued by parliamentarians from different political sectors -including Cambio 90- called on the elected senator and first vice-president Máximo San Román to assume the Presidency of the Nation. Shortly, San Roman was sworn in as Constitutional President, but he did not have the support of the citizens.
