Today in 1946, 77 years ago: in the city of La Paz (Bolivia) a mob takes the Government Palace, assassinates President Gualberto Villarroel and hangs him from a lantern in Murillo Square along with three of his collaborators: Luis Uría de la Oliva (his private secretary), Captain Waldo Ballivián (his aide-de-camp) and Roberto Hinojosa (director of the newspaper Cumbre).
