Junta Militar

A Junta Militar is a government led by a group of military leaders rather than elected civilians. Typically, it occurs when the military takes control after a coup d’état, often citing reasons like instability or corruption. This governing body makes national decisions collectively, bypassing democratic processes. Juntas are usually temporary but can become prolonged, restricting political freedoms and civil liberties. Historically, they have been associated with authoritarian regimes, where military interests influence governance, sometimes leading to human rights concerns.
