On July 21, 1980, General Luis García Meza led a coup d’état against president Lidia Gueiler Tejada. After the general elections in Bolivia on June 29, 1980, the military group led by García Meza wanted to prevent the winner of the elections from assuming the presidency of the country. As a decade earlier, the Mexican embassy in Bolivia played an active role in protecting citizens of that country who requested diplomatic asylum. Between July and November 1980, the Mexican Embassy granted asylum to 264 Bolivians who requested the protection of the Mexican government. Based on information in the Genaro Estrada Historical Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Central Migration Archive of the National Institute of Migration; a socio-demographic reading of this contingent of Bolivian asylum seekers was conducted, as well as an appraisal of the efforts of the Mexican embassy in favor of the persecuted politicians.
