Gustavo Rojas Pinilla is a Colombian military officer affiliated with the Republic of Colombia. After the death of President Laureano Gómez Castro, he will launch a coup against the new President Roberto Urdaneta Arbeláez and installs a temporary military junta.

In-Game Biography

General Rojas Pinilla has shattered Gómez' tyranny, and now stands alone on the peak as the republic's savior, save for the whining of those exiled politicians that call him dictator. But nothing could be further from the truth. Rojas is the Caesar of the Andes, popular defender of Colombia against all radicals, establishment elitists, and foreign puppets.

Born in Boyacá, Rojas's long military career, including stints as attaché to both Germany and the USA and the intellect behind El Dorado Airport, seemed destined to peak with him rescuing Bogotá from the devil's hands. Aside from pursuing military interests, he has studied the tactics of successful Liberal leaders like Gaitán and Pumarejo. Despite being a military officer, Rojas never liked being Gómez's attack dog, and took his chance to exact vengeance on those who would sell Colombia out to Iberia and the fascist powers.

Now Rojas calls the shots, and seems to embody the reformist caudillo, ruling by decree while pushing progressive change. A mystery is his total lack of alignment; he appears to be courting all three major powers, happily playing them off for the best deals. But whatever his goal, both his supporters and critics agree that he is an ever-smiling patriot who puts Colombia's interests first and foremost.

Involvement

Gustavo Rojas Pinilla will overthrow Roberto Urdaneta Arbeláez on June 10, 1962. An event will trigger on January 1, 1963, which causes one of the following to happen:

  • 60% chance of Pinilla replacing his cabinet on May 10, 1963.
  • 40% chance of Pinilla being ousted on October 8, 1963.

If Pinilla replaces his cabinet on May 10, 1963, Pinilla will win an election on May 2, 1964 and become the leader of the National Popular Alliance, a position that he will continue to hold if the Republic of Colombia wins La Violencia. If Pinilla is ousted on October 8, 1963, he is replaced by Alberto Lleras Camargo.
