The Three Presidents: Argentina's Constitutional Crisis of 2001

In December 2001, Argentina saw five presidents in two weeks—including three in one day. This episode zooms in on the chaotic days that followed the corralito, the freezing of bank accounts that sparked cacerolazos and looting. Lucas and Luna trace the collapse of Fernando de la Rúa's government, the interim presidency of Adolfo Rodríguez Saá (who famously defaulted on Argentina's debt), and the bizarre 24-hour rule of Eduardo Camaño. They explore the role of piqueteros, the rise of Eduardo Duhalde, and how the crisis reshaped Argentine politics for decades. Names like Domingo Cavallo, Alicia Moreau de Justo, and the Plaza de Mayo protests come alive in this detailed look at a pivotal moment.
