however, the cabildo attempted to thwart the result of the open cabildo, and appointed cisneros as head of the new junta. he made the oath of office, but the appointment was seen as a betrayal of the cabildo, causing huge demonstrations. by the night of may 24, cisneros resigned, along with the criollo members of the junta, saavedra and castelli. but the following day the cabildo did not accept cisneros' resignation, and ordered the military bodies to suppress the demonstrations by force. the military commanders denied such support, and pointed that even if they accepted, their soldiers would mutiny against such orders. the demonstration broke into the cabildo and overran some sections of it, so the members of the cabildo finally agreed to accept cisneros' resignation. the composition of the new junta came from a document with hundreds of signatures; but who actually proposed the names remains unknown. the primera junta was thus the government that replaced cisneros, ending the authority of the viceroys.
