Francisco Antonio Rodríguez Poveda (born 24 November 1938) was a Panamanian politician who briefly served as the provisional President of Panama in 1989.
Early life
Rodríguez was born in Herrera Province.[1]
Provisional President of Panama
Rodríguez became provisional President of Panama on 1 September 1989 following the resignation of Manuel Solís Palma.[1] He stood down on 20 December 1989 following the United States invasion of Panama and the arrest of de facto leader Manuel Antonio Noriega.[1] He was one of a series of Noriega's puppet rulers, nicknamed the "Kleenex presidents" in Panama due to their "disposability".[2]
Later life
In 1994, Rodríguez was pardoned by President Guillermo Endara for any crimes committed during the Noriega years.[3] Rodríguez belonged to the Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD).
