Salustiano Olózaga

Salustiano Olózaga . (Oyón, June 8th 1805 - Paris, September 26th 1873) Military, writer, lawyer and Spanish Politician .

He studied the Philosophie with Saragossa and Madrid (where he also studied the Droit). Member the National Militia, and liberal convinced, it took part as an officer in the monitoring of the formation of the the Cortes of Cadiz. He exiled with Saint Jean de Luz in 1831 to flee the policy of oppression of Ferdinand VII after the revolts of 1831. He was under the government of Mendizabal Civil Gouverneur of Madrid and later Député of this city then of Logroño of 1836 with 1873. He took part in the development of the Spanish Constitution of 1837 after the mutiny of Granja de San Ildefonso, convinced of the need for finishing some with the confrontations that the Constitution of 1812 and the Royal Statut of 1834 had created. For this reason it was named tutor of the girl of the Regent Marie Christine of Bourbon and of late the Ferdinand VII, future the Isabelle II.

Opposed on many points with the Regent and clearly supporting Baldomero Espartero in its opposition with the latter, it took an active part in the fall of Marie Christine. When Espartero reaches the capacity, it was named Ambassadeur with Paris, where it tried to reconcile the Spanish official positions with the screens which carried out Marie Christine in exile. After the fall of Espartero, whereas Isabelle II is declared major and Queen of Spain, it was named president of the Council of Ministers and had to face the false charges of the reactionary Luis González Bravo who supported that it had tried to obtain the dissolution of the the Cortes by making use of violence and intimidation near the Queen. This situation obliged it to again flee in France the November 19th 1843. It would return to Spain only in 1847. In 1853 it was named member of the Real Academia of Historia. He was thereafter again ambassador in Paris and on its return in the peninsula he adopted an extremely critical posture towards the moderate ones and the reactionaries. In 1871 it was named member of the Real Academia Española. He died whereas he was ambassador in France.
