He was mayor of San Salvador before running for president in 1972. He lost, but the election is widely viewed as fraudulent. Following a coup d'état in 1979, Duarte led the subsequent civil-military Junta from 1980 to 1982. He was then elected president in 1984, defeating ARENA party leader Roberto D'Aubuisson.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"23 November 1925","date":"1925-11-23"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q360283#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Santa Ana","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q739664"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q360283#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"23 February 1990","date":"1990-02-23"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q360283#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"San Salvador","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3110"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q360283#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"El Salvador","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q792"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q360283#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q360283#P106"}},{"key":"party","label":"Political party","values":[{"text":"Christian Democratic Party","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1953774"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q360283#P102"}},{"key":"education","label":"Education","values":[{"text":"University of Notre Dame","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q178848"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q360283#P69"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"President of El Salvador (1 June 1984 – 1 June 1989)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q878151","start":"1984-06-01","end":"1989-06-01"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q360283#P39"}},{"key":"awards","label":"Awards","values":[{"text":"Collar of the Order of Isabella the Catholic‎","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17366068","date":"1985"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q360283#P166"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Napole%C3%B3n_Duarte","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q360283"],"faq":[{"q":"When was José Napoleón Duarte born?","a":"José Napoleón Duarte was born on 23 November 1925 in Santa Ana."},{"q":"What positions has José Napoleón Duarte held?","a":"Positions held by José Napoleón Duarte include: President of El Salvador (1984–1989)."},{"q":"Where did José Napoleón Duarte study?","a":"José Napoleón Duarte was educated at University of Notre Dame."}],"related":[{"name":"Francisco Morazán","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/francisco-morazan"},{"name":"Maximiliano Hernández Martínez","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/maximiliano-hernandez-martinez"},{"name":"Antonio Saca","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/antonio-saca"},{"name":"Álvaro Magaña","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/alvaro-magana"},{"name":"Arturo Armando Molina","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/arturo-armando-molina"},{"name":"Joaquín Eufrasio Guzmán","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/joaquin-eufrasio-guzman"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/jose-napoleon-duarte-db3a62532e.jpg","width":500,"height":678,"license":"CC0","credit":"Croes, Rob C. for Anefo","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jos%C3%A9_Napole%C3%B3n_Duarte_1987c.jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): José Napoleón Duarte","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Napole%C3%B3n_Duarte","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q360283","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q360283","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: José Napoleón Duarte 1987c.jpg by Croes, Rob C. for Anefo (CC0)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jos%C3%A9_Napole%C3%B3n_Duarte_1987c.jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article José Napoleón Duarte, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
