Carlos César Delía

Carlos César Delía (born January 21, 1923) is an Argentine equestrian and a retired division general in the Argentine Army, born in Concordia, Entre Ríos province. He represented his country in several Olympic Games and World Championships, achieving a second place at the 1960 World Championship in Venice, Italy.

Some of his best remembered horses were Discutido, Huipil, Maravedí and Cardón.

His last appointment in the Argentine Army was as commander of the III Army Corps, which at the time was engaged in battle against the People's Revolutionary Army in the province of Tucumán. In August 1975, after an institutional crisis due to the designation of active colonel Vicente Damasco as Minister of the Interior, Delía, as the second highest ranking general, rebelled against the commander of the Army, lt. general Numa Laplane. The crisis ended with the appointment of brigade general Jorge Rafael Videla as commander of the Army, the replacement of Damasco with civilian Angel Federico Robledo and the retirement of both Numa Laplane and Delía.
