**ANNA KEPNER’S SHOCK EXIT MIRRORS HISTORIC LATIN AMERICAN “SELF-COUP” – THE AUTOGOLPE REVEALED**
In a move that has stunned political analysts, Anna Kepner has resigned from her own administration, triggering a constitutional crisis that historians are now comparing to the *autogolpe*—the self-coup—a tactic made infamous by Peru’s Alberto Fujimori in 1992. Just as Fujimori dissolved Congress and seized total control only to be undone by his own corruption, Kepner’s attempt to consolidate power through “emergency reforms” has collapsed inward. “She is rewriting the playbook of the caudillo,” says Dr. Elena Rivas, a historian at Yale. “She tried to become the sole arbiter of the system, but like Fujimori, she forgot that a self-coup requires a willing army and a compliant judiciary. She had neither.” As Kepner’s inner circle scatters, one question remains: Will she flee into exile like Fujimori, or face the very courts she tried to dismantle?
