This event radically transformed Venezuelan political life, introducing new actors on the scene: of these four protagonists, the first was president from 1999 until his death in 2013; however, Arias has also dabbled in politics: he was elected governor of Zulia state, a presidential candidate in 2000, competing with his own former partner (at the time) Hugo Chávez, and again governor of Zulia in 2013 after reconciling with Chávez; Acosta has kept a low profile and Urdaneta has become a critic of the policies carried out by the Chávez government.

Similarly, the savage repression by state security forces of a peaceful gathering of nearly 1 million people in the Chuao de Caracas urbanization served as a trigger, as well as the arbitrary imprisonment of some military and civilian leaders who issued a speech before these citizens who were demonstrating, at the same time that then President Chávez fired more than 16,000 workers from the state oil company PDVSA through a national media network. Trade union and business organizations call for a mass rally for April 11, 2002.

The President orders the activation of [[Plan Ávila]] to control the situation, but this order is ignored by military commanders who demand the president's resignation. Minutes after the order, President Chávez called for calm in the population on a national radio and television channel; For their part, the private media decided to divide the screen, an action considered by them as an act of journalistic response to the events. While on one screen the President was seen in total calm, on the second screen the chaos caused by the shootings that occurred in Caracas was shown. In the evening hours of the same April 11, the Minister of Defense, General in Chief Lucas Rincón, announced the request and subsequent acceptance of the resignation of President Hugo Chávez. In the early hours of April 12 at the Miraflores Palace, [[Hugo Chávez]] surrenders to the insurgent military and is fired by his ministers and other Palace workers; then he is taken to military installations located in Caracas.

Constitutional. However, President Chávez later stated that he never signed his resignation and that he was kidnapped. On the afternoon of the 12th, the president of the federation of business associations, [[Pedro Carmona|Pedro Carmona Estanga]], supported by the insurgent military and various sectors of civil society, assumes the Presidency of the Republic through a controversial and illegal decree that dismissed all executive officials that made up the national public powers ([[Supreme Tribunal of Justice (Venezuela)|TSJ]], [[National Electoral Council (Venezuela)|CNE]], [[National Assembly (Venezuela)|National Assembly of Venezuela]], [[Prosecutor's office|Prosecutor's Office]], [[Ombudsman]], [[Comptroller|Comptroller's Office]], [[Ministries]]) and local (mayors, governors, deputies to municipal and state parliaments) from their positions and also allowed the Provisional Government appoint the new members of all the previous positions; It also changed the name of the country from "Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela" to "Republic of Venezuela" and committed the Provisional Government to convene free, secret and universal general elections for all elected positions and also promised to hand over power to the new Government.

The decree was called the Act of Constitution of the Government of Democratic Transition and National Unity, which was signed by 400 people who were present at the Miraflores Palace, and supported more by the insurgent military. On the morning of April 13, the political police, following orders from the Provisional Government, persecuted the representatives of the ousted government to make them pay before the Venezuelan justice system and protected a group of demonstrators who were attacking the Cuban Embassy in Caracas (this due to that the police could not in any way break into any embassy of another country, but they also did not break up the protesters who attacked it). That same day an operation is launched to restore constitutional order. The then attorney general of the Republic, [[Isaías Rodríguez]], declares that a coup d'état has occurred since, among other things, there is no physical evidence of his resignation, however the national television stations take it off the air. Relatives of [[Hugo Chávez]] denounced the situation before international media. On the 13th, [[Raúl Baduel]], Chief of the Army Garrison of the city of Maracay, 100 kilometers from the capital, ignores the new government and contacts the military loyal to Hugo Chávez. Supporters of the deposed President hold demonstrations in [[Caracas]] demanding his return. The [[Miraflores Palace]] was taken over by troops loyal to Chavez. This, who had been transferred from one military installation to another (located on [[La Orchila Island]]) during the last 48 hours, is rescued and taken back to Caracas, where he again assumes command. About 8 months later, the [[Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela]] ruled that what happened was not a "coup d'état" but a "power vacuum", based on what was previously affirmed by the highest military authority in the country, General-in-Chief [[Lucas Rincón Romero]], affected by the Chávez government. For this reason, the masterminds of said military uprising were not imprisoned or sentenced, nor were the civilians who supported it, except for those cases in which the commission of common crimes against officials of the temporarily deposed government or against public property or private.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Folha Online - Especial - 2002 - Venezuela |url=https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/especial/2002/venezuela/o_golpe.shtml |access-date=2022-07-29 |website=www1.folha.uol.com.br}}</ref><ref name=":2" /> == See Also == * [[Venezuelan Civil Wars]] * [[Caracazo]] * [[History of Venezuela]] * [[Politics of Venezuela]] * [[Elections in Venezuela]] == References =='
