Dissolution of the Congress of the United States of Venezuela
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The dissolution of the Congress of the United States of Venezuela by decree on December 4, 1948, following the Venezuelan coup d'état of that year, was initially announced as provisional but was later made permanent until 1952.[1][2] This significant historical event marked the end of the democratic project known as the Trienio Adeco under the presidency of Rómulo Gallegos. State legislative assemblies and municipal councils were also dissolved, all of which were fundamental to the establishment of the military dictatorship led by Carlos Delgado Chalbaud and under the influence of Marcos Pérez Jiménez.
