Avelino Arredondo was a Uruguayan assassin. BackgroundArredondo was a strong supporter of a rival faction of the ruling Colorado Party government of Uruguayan president Juan Idiarte Borda. An apparent attempt was made on the life of President Idiarte in April 1897. This was widely publicized, including in El Día, edited by José Batlle y Ordóñez, where Arredondo's name also mysteriously appeared in connection with this incident, although he was ostensibly unconnected with this attempt on Idiarte's life. Assassination of Uruguayan PresidentOn August 25, 1897 Arredondo assassinated Idiarte in the Uruguayan capital of Montevideo as he emerged from a church service.[1] Claiming to have acted alone, he was convicted of the crime and imprisoned. Arredondo's act of slaying Idiarte is hitherto the only instance of the assassination of a sitting President in the history of Uruguay. Place in literatureArredondo was later mentioned in the writings of the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, who was an acute observer of Uruguayan history and politics.[2] See also
