Raúl Cubas Grau

Raúl Alberto Cubas Grau (born 23 August 1943) is a Paraguayan politician and electrical engineer who served as the 45th President of Paraguay from 1998 until his resignation in 1999.

A ''colorado'' and loyal follower of Lino Oviedo, who could not run for president due to his imprisonment, Cubas was elected in 1998 alongside his running mate, Luis María Argaña, a ''colorado'' ''caudillo'' who had become Oviedo's biggest political rival.

In March of 1999, large protests against Cubas' government erupted following the assassination of Vice President Argaña. As a result of these days of social unrest, which came to be known as the Marzo Paraguayo, Cubas resigned and was succeeded by the president of the Senate, Luis González Macchi. Cubas' presidency only lasted six months. Provided by Wikipedia
