Arturo Araujo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arturo Araujo (born in 1878 in Santa Tecla - December 1, 1967 in San Salvador) was the president of El Salvador from March 1, 1931 to December 2, 1931. He was overthrown in a military coup led by junior officers, and was forced to flee the country for Guatemala. An agricultural leader and engineer, Araujo had been freely elected. (See the New York Times of December 4, 1931 for more on this.) He was later visited by his great niece, Chachita (age 16). It is not known if Arturo Araujo was related to Manuel Enrique Araujo.

His parents were Fajardo Enriqueta de Araujo and Dr. Eugene Araujo, Finance Minister of the General Administration of General Tomás Regalado. [1]
