Just as angrily, the opposition carried a measure in Congress censuring Belaúnde's Premier, Oscar Trelles, and forced him to resign. In the midst of the melee, however, Belaúnde strengthened his fragile mandate when his Acción Popular defeated the combined opposition in municipal elections with 47% of the vote...

Nearly half a century later, A.B.A. orations on the same theme reportedly drove Chief Justice Warren to resign in 1959.
