Hugo Banzer Suárez (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈuɣo banˈseɾ ˈswaɾes]; 10 May 1926 – 5 May 2002) was a Bolivian politician and military officer who served as the 51st President of Bolivia. He held the Bolivian presidency twice: from 1971 to 1978 in a military dictatorship; and then again from 1997 to 2001, as a democratically elected president. Banzer, a participant in Operation Condor closely associated with former Nazi officer Klaus Barbie, rose to power via a coup d'état against socialist president Juan José Torres and severely repressed labor leaders, clergymen, indigenous people, and students during his 1971–1978 dictatorship.
