context_page_description: Eduardo Ernesto Lonardi Doucet was an Argentine Lieutenant General and served as de facto president from September 23 to November 13, 1955.
context_section_description: Eduardo Lonardi, a Catholic nationalist, assumed leadership of the Revolución Libertadora junta that overthrew Juan Perón on September 16, 1955. He was greeted by chants of Cristo Vence ("Christ is Victorious") when arriving in Buenos Aires. Favoring a transition with "neither victors nor vanquished", his conciliatory approach was deemed too soft by the liberal faction of the armed forces, who deposed him less than two months into his de facto presidency and replaced him with hard-liner Pedro Aramburu.
  He went to the United States to receive cancer treatment. He returned to Argentina and died on 22 March 1956 from cancer.
