The country began experiencing {{wp|democratic backsliding}} in the early 1990s with the election of populist strongman [[Luis Souza]], a high ranking member of the PPE. His [[1996 Esteiran presidential election|reelection in 1996]] was marred with claims of voter fraud, intimidation, and a marked increase in political violence. Souza’s time in office saw the weakening of the [[Constitutional Court of Esteira|Constitutional Court]], attacks on journalists and media Souza perceived as “anti-Esteira,” and the weakening of civil liberties nationwide. Terrorist attacks by “internal enemies of the state” became relatively common in the 1990s, which prompted several states of emergency and the creation of special powers by the [[National People’sPeople's Assembly of Esteira|National People's Assembly]] to give Souza nearly unchecked power during these states of emergency. Souza [[2001 Esteiran presidential election|won a third term in 2001]] with 61.55% of the vote in an election many international observers described as "totally fraudulent."
 
On the morning of April 4, 2002, a blast occurred at the Esteiran People's Party headquarters in Porto Verde which killed 12. Over the next hour, PPE representatives were targeted across the country for assassination. In total, eight were killed and 13 were wounded in coordinated attacks. Souza and the PPE claimed the attacks were committed by left-wing terrorists sympathetic to the National Liberal Party though these claims went unsubstantiated. That evening the [[Esteiran National Police]] arrested PLN leadership and locked the country’s opposition parties out of an emergency session of the National People’s Assembly.
