Gustavo Rojas Pinilla
Gustavo Rojas Pinilla , 1900-1975, president of Colombia (1953-57). As head of the armed forces he led the coup that ousted President Laureano Gómez in 1953. He ruled as a dictator, brutally suppressing all opposition. His attempted fiscal reforms failed, and his administration was riddled with corruption. In 1957 he was deposed by a military junta backed by both liberals and conservatives. He and his daughter, María Eugenia Rojas de Moreno (a senator), subsequently organized the National Popular Alliance, a political party with broad support among the urban poor. He ran for president in 1970, losing by only 1 1/2 % of the vote. Ill health forced his retirement in 1973. His daughter ran unsuccessfully for president in 1974.
