Biography

[edit]

Urrutia was a Panamanian soldier who commanded, alongside José María Pinilla, the military junta which overthrew elect president Arnulfo Arias on October 11, 1968. After the coup de etat, Urrutia and Pinilla took on together the charge of President of Panama. They governed together until the military junta was replaced by a civil junta on December 16, 1969, with president Demetrio Basilio Lakas.[3] He died on June 2, 2005, at the age of 86.
