Definition von maria corazon aquino im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch

orig. Maria Corazon Cojuangco born Jan. 25, 1933, Manila, Phil. President of the Philippines (1986-92). Born into a politically prominent family, she married Benigno Simeon Aquino, Jr. (1932-83), who became the most prominent opponent of Pres. Ferdinand Marcos. Benigno was assassinated in 1983 on his return from exile, and Corazon became the opposition candidate for president in 1986. Though Marcos was officially reported the winner, there were widespread allegations of voting fraud; high officials in the military supported Aquino, and Marcos fled. As president, Aquino introduced a hugely popular constitution. Over time her popularity declined amid charges of corruption and economic injustice
