Throughout the 20th century, the heads of Latin American executive powers fell mainly because of military interventions.

This gave rise to prolific lines of research in political science. In this article I want to explore the early departure of Mario Ferreiro from the municipal executive of Asuncion, emphasizing the interference of justice, which is addressed by a current of Political Science as “judicialization of politics“.
