The '''2002 Esteiran self-coup d'état''', also known as '''A Aquisição''' ('''The Takeover'''), took place on April 4, 2002 when [[President of Esteira|President]] [[Luis Souza]] ordered the [[Esteiran National Police]] and the [[Esteiran Military Forces]] to seize control of [[Esteira|Esteira's]] legislative and judicial bodies. Souza also ordered the arrest of political opponents, including the leaders of the [[National Liberal Party of Esteira|National Liberal Party]]. A {{wp|self-coup}}, Souza headed an emergency session of the [[National People's Assembly of Esteira|National People's Assembly]] that was attended by only members of his party, the [[Esteiran People's Party]], and was granted widespread dictatorial powers through the [[National Security and Stable Leadership Act of 2002]].
Nationwide demonstrations began soon after the news broke of the self-coup and was met with heavy resistance from the National Police, military, and pro-Souza demonstrators. The ensuing violence led to the deaths of 79 civilians, with hundreds more wounded and thousands arrested. The demonstrations came to an end on April 11, 2002.
