A member of the Republican Socialist Unity Party, he had previously been the 26th vice president of Bolivia, from 1947 to 1949, under President Enrique Hertzog. Urriolagoitía's short reign was characterized by the violent suppression of the opposition, especially unionists, and he is remembered for his inflexibility. He is considered the last constitutional president of the largely oligarchic social and political order that reigned in the country until the advent of the 1952 Bolivian National Revolution.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"5 December 1895","date":"1895-12-05"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3306306#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Sucre","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2907"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3306306#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"4 June 1974","date":"1974-06-04"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3306306#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Sucre","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2907"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3306306#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Bolivia","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q750"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3306306#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3306306#P106"}},{"key":"party","label":"Political party","values":[{"text":"Republican Socialist Unity Party","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7314703"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3306306#P102"}},{"key":"education","label":"Education","values":[{"text":"Royal and Pontifical Higher University of San Francisco Xavier of Chuquisaca","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q930279"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3306306#P69"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"president of Bolivia (24 October 1949 – 16 May 1951)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q373548","start":"1949-10-24","end":"1951-05-16"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3306306#P39"}},{"key":"awards","label":"Awards","values":[{"text":"Grand Cross of the Order of Isabella the Catholic","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17365974","date":"1947"},{"text":"Grand Cross of the Order of Charles III","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q20866649","date":"1950"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3306306#P166"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamerto_Urriolagoit%C3%ADa","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3306306"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Mamerto Urriolagoitía born?","a":"Mamerto Urriolagoitía was born on 5 December 1895 in Sucre."},{"q":"What positions has Mamerto Urriolagoitía held?","a":"Positions held by Mamerto Urriolagoitía include: president of Bolivia (1949–1951)."},{"q":"Where did Mamerto Urriolagoitía study?","a":"Mamerto Urriolagoitía was educated at Royal and Pontifical Higher University of San Francisco Xavier of Chuquisaca."}],"related":[{"name":"Simón Bolívar","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/simon-bolivar"},{"name":"Antonio José de Sucre","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/antonio-jose-de-sucre"},{"name":"Andrés de Santa Cruz","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/andres-de-santa-cruz"},{"name":"Wálter Guevara","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/walter-guevara"},{"name":"Víctor Paz Estenssoro","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/victor-paz-estenssoro"},{"name":"Enrique Hertzog","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/enrique-hertzog"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/mamerto-urriolagoitia-957af3975d.jpg","width":260,"height":348,"license":"Public domain","credit":"Unknown author Unknown author","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mamer-urriol.jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Mamerto Urriolagoitía","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamerto_Urriolagoit%C3%ADa","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q3306306","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3306306","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Mamer-urriol.jpg by Unknown author Unknown author (Public domain)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mamer-urriol.jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Mamerto Urriolagoitía, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
