| Info | Arosemena (Quinzada), Alcibíades (b. Nov. 20, 1883, Los Santos, Colombia [now in Panama] - d. April 8, 1958, Panama City), president of Panama (1951-52). He joined the army of Liberals when the civil war of 1900 began and served until 1903 when Panama won its independence. He was one of the founders with Arnulfo Arias Madrid of the National Revolutionary Party. He was serving as municipal treasurer of Panama City when Arias was removed as president in 1941. The organization then changed its name to the Authentic National Revolutionary Party (PRA). Arias ran for president on the PRA ticket in 1948 with Arosemena as his candidate for first vice president. At first another party was called the winner of the election, but the electoral jury, after a recount, on Nov. 24, 1949, declared the PRA slate to have been elected. Arosemena became finance minister in the cabinet, serving until March 1951, when he broke with Arias over financial policies. Arias then appointed him minister to Spain but Arosemena refused the appointment. On May 9, 1951, Arias was impeached, and when the impeachment was sustained on May 25, Arosemena was sworn in to complete Arias' unfilled term to Oct. 1, 1952. After completing the term he was appointed ambassador to France. He was married to the sister of Juan Demóstenes Arosemena.
