Answer

Military coup was the event that coincided with Roa Bastos's exile in Paraguay. The coup was led by General Alfredo Stroessner, who seized power in 1954 and ruled Paraguay for 35 years. During his rule, Stroessner suppressed political opposition and human rights, and many Paraguayans were forced into exile.
