Junta of Government (El Salvador)

The Junta of Government of El Salvador of 1960 was established by Salvadoran military officers on October 26, 1960 after a coup d'état toppled President José María Lemus.

History

On October 26, 1960, the Salvadoran armed forces toppled the government of José María Lemus and established a military junta.

The junta claimed its purpose was to enforce the 1950 Salvadoran Constitution and to mediate genuine presidential elections.[1]

The junta of 1960 ended after the 1961 Salvadoran coup d'état overthrew the junta and all its members were exiled. The Civic-Military Directory was established in its place by military officers.

Members

The junta was led by three civilians and three military officers:[2]
