During the expedition, Martínez de Irala secretly conspired against the adelantado on several occasions, until in 1544 he managed to depose him with a rebellion of his partisans in which he astutely stayed out of the way.

Juan de ayolas

On February 2, 1537, he was appointed Ayolas’ lieutenant in the «Puerto de La Candelaria» -near today’s Bahía Negra- or rather, he would become the lieutenant governor general of La Candelaria, where he remained as captain of the people and ships that remained in that port, while his chief went inland to continue exploring in order to find the mythical «Sierras de la Plata» and the «Amazons».[2] As the fate of Ayolas was uncertain, it was reported that he had been killed by the Payaguás Indians.
As the fate of Ayolas, who was reported to have been killed by the Payaguás Indians, was uncertain, the overseer Alonso de Cabrera had marched, at the beginning of May, from the first Buenos Aires to the city of Asunción with the other pretender to the governorship, Captain Francisco Ruiz Galán, who had been appointed by the previous adelantado as lieutenant governor of Buen Ayre, Corpus Christi and Buena Esperanza.[6] The decision was followed by all the people of the city.
The decision was accepted by the whole population since this resolution was a consequence of the will of the emperor who had secretly sent with the overseer Cabrera a royal decree with democratic connotations so that the people would decide.[6][8][9] The decision was made by the people of Asunción.
