1685 Aldurian coup d'état

The 1685 Aldurian coup d'état began on 13.VII.1685 AN, when the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff César Puig led a broad political coalition that included members of all political parties to remove President Gerhardt Eugen Seydlitz and Prime Minister Kylian Mbappé from power and suspended the Constitution of Alduria. The move came after the political upheaval brought by the assasination of Prime Minister Marco Zimmer and the continued inability of all levels of government to react or even move quickly to reassure the country and maintain order. The assassination led to weeks to widespread national protests and memorial vigils, with protesters calling for the military to remove the government and guide the country to a new democratic national settlement.

The military arrested Seydlitz, Mbappé, and several other political leaders and declared former President Alejandro Campos as the interim president of Alduria. The announcement was followed by demonstrations and clashes between supporters and opponents of the coup throughout the country.
