Protasio Tagle[a] (1839 – 31 July 1903) was a Mexican soldier, politician and lawyer. He served as secretary of the interior in 1876 and 1877 and as secretary of justice and public education from 1877 to 1879 under President Porfirio Díaz.
Biography
[edit]Protasio Pérez de Tagle was born in 1839 in Mexico City.[2][3][4] His father was a wealthy hacienda owner.[5] Tagle became a lawyer in 1871.[2]
He participated in the Reform War (1857–1861) as a member of the liberal sector, and later led a republican division during the second French intervention in Mexico (1861–1867).
In 1867 Tagle was elected to the Chamber of Deputies for the State of Mexico, and he was re-elected in 1869.[2] In 1870 or 1871, he helped found the Asociación Democrática Constitucionalista,[b] which supported General Porfirio Díaz's presidential campaign in the 1871 election.[2][4]
He joined general Porfirio Díaz during the 1876 Revolution of Tuxtepec (see Plan of Tuxtepec).
After Díaz won and became the president of Mexico, Tagle was appointed governor of the Federal District on 20 November 1876[6] and, from 17 February to 23 May 1877, Secretary of the Interior; he was unpopular in the position and was severely criticised for his support of the Federal District's governor over banned forms of gaming.[2][7]
On 14 May 1877 the Chamber of Deputies elected him to the Supreme Court. On 2 June, he requested a leave of absence from his Supreme Court position, but was denied; upset with the refusal, he presented his resignation, which was accepted on 2 May 1878. From June 1877 to November 1879 he also served as Secretary of Justice and Public Instruction.[8]
In 1879 there were possibilities for him to be the presidential candidate, but he was defeated by Manuel González and finally retired from political activities.
Tagle died in Mexico City on 31 July 1903.[8][9] He had a son, Cornelio Pérez de Tagle.[10]
Legacy
[edit]A park in Mexico City is named after Tagle.[11]
