December 2001 riots in Argentina

The 2001 crisis in Argentina is sometimes known as the Argentinazo.^[1][2][3][4] (pronounced [aɾxentiˈnaso]) It was a political, economic, social, and institutional crisis. It was fueled by a revolt under the slogan "All of them must go!" (Spanish: ¡Que se vayan todos!). This led to the resignation of the president of Argentina, Fernando de la Rúa, giving rise to a period of political instability during which five officials exercised the National Executive Power in a few months.
