Uncertainty and Turmoil
In a matter of two weeks, Argentina had three different presidents:
- On December 21st,2001, after De la Rua's resignation, Federico Ramon Puerta, who was president of the Senate, became interim President of the nation. His purpose was to serve until Congress assembled and elected a new president.
- Congress elected Adolfo Rodriguez Saa on December 23rd as the new interim President of Argentina. However, only a week later, on December 31st, he resigned, arguing significant lack of support from the rest of the Justicialist Party. His most important action was to declare a default on the national debt.
- Eduardo Oscar
