=== 1966 coup ===
Rumors of an impending military coup increased in early 1966 as Illia's control over his government grew tenuous. Congress refused to approve his 1966 budget, which included a strict fiscal program of higher taxes and a spending freeze in real terms. Military leaders and their allies in the conservative opposition remained nervous about Illia allowing Peronists to participate in the upcoming March 1967 Congressional elections.
On 28 June 1966, on a cold winter morning, the military coup took place amid the indifference of the citizens. The military forced Arturo Illia to abandon the presidency and take power again.
