It was a response to the self-coup of April 5 carried out by Alberto Fujimori, which led to the establishment of an emergency government. The plot intended to return democracy to the country. Background After the self-coup carried out on Sunday, April 5, by the then president of Peru, Alberto Fujimori, with the support of the Armed Forces, the resulting government, called the Government of Emergency and National Reconstruction, dissolved or intervened in the democratic institutions, alleging the parliamentary blockade, the ineffectiveness of the Judiciary and the terrorist threat of the subversive groups Shining Path and Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement. This regime consolidated its power thanks to the successful operation to capture Abimael Guzmán, leader of Shining Path, and his leadership, and the political repression of the opposition. Added to this was the end of pressure from the Organisation of American States for the violation of democratic legality thanks to the convocation of the Democratic Constituent Congress.A diez años del 13 de noviembre http://larepublica.pe/11-11-2002/diez-anos-del-13-de-noviembre 2002-11-11 https://web.archive.org/web/20160306074539/http://larepublica.pe/11-11-2002/diez-anos-del-13-de-noviembre 2016-03-06 La República Coup The military conspirators, led by retired generals Jaime Salinas Sedó es, José Pastor Vives and Víctor Ernesto Obando Salas,Como hace 20 años, el general Salinas Sedó y militares del 13 de noviembre siguen en lucha https://larepublica.pe/politica/673515-como-hace-20-anos-el-general-salinas-sedo-y-militares-del-13-de-noviembre-siguen-en-lucha 2012-11-13 La República planned an operation under the protection of the right to insurrection enshrined in the 1979 Constitution.Me Tiraron A Matar http://www.caretas.com.pe/1491/matar/matar.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20010122102900/http://www.caretas.com.pe/1491/matar/matar.htm 2001-01-22 CaretasLa última batalla de los militares que se levantaron contra el autogolpe de Fujimori https://elcomercio.pe/politica/ultima-batalla-militares-rebelaron-autogolpe-alberto-fujimori-443250-noticia/ Cruz Rodrigo 2017-07-22 El Comercio Salinas and his allies did not intend to take power, but rather to restore democratic order and hand over command of the nation to Máximo San Román, then president by constitutional succession but not recognised.New Disclosures in Peru Show Plot's Wide Web https://www.nytimes.com/1992/12/11/world/new-disclosures-in-peru-show-plot-s-wide-web.html Brooke James 1992-12-11 New York TimesAsí fue como fracasó el intento de contragolpe del general Jaime Salinas Sedó contra Alberto Fujimori en 1992 https://www.infobae.com/peru/2023/11/13/asi-fue-como-fracaso-el-intento-de-contragolpe-del-general-jaime-salinas-sedo-contra-alberto-fujimori-en-1992/ Obando Manoel 2023-11-13 Infobae The plan was to arrest Alberto Fujimori, Nicolás Hermoza Ríos es, head of the Joint Command of the Armed Forces, and presidential advisor Vladimiro Montesinos at dawn.https://puntoseguido.upc.edu.pe/a-26-anos-que-detuvo-el-plan-para-derrocar-a-alberto-fujimori/ A 26 años: ¿Qué detuvo el plan para derrocar a Alberto Fujimori? 2018-11-20 Punto Seguido But on November 12, the plot was revealed and the operations were cancelled.
