Néstor Guillén Olmos (28 January 1890 – 12 March 1966) was a Bolivian lawyer and politician who served as the 40th president of Bolivia on a de facto interim basis in 1946.
Background and earlier career
Born in La Paz, Guillén studied law and rose to become the dean of the Superior District Court of La Paz.
President of Bolivia
Néstor Guillén served as
Court of Appeals, Tomás Monje Gutiérrez, who was ill at the time. Thus, Guillén
filled in for him for fewer than four weeks, whereupon Monje was sworn-in as President. The old oligarchy was established again but, not long after, would fall only a few years later.
Later career and death
Guillén then returned to his judgeship and died on 12 March 1966 in La Paz, Bolivia.
