Manuel García Prieto, 1st Marquis of Alhucemas (5 November 1859 – 8 March 1938) was a Spanish politician who served as prime minister several times in his life and as the 30th Solicitor General of Spain. He was a member of the Liberal Party. During his last term, he was deposed by Miguel Primo de Rivera.
Biography
Born on 5 November 1859 in Astorga, province of León. [1] [2] Formed in the law firm of Eugenio Montero Ríos, García Prieto entered the former's cacique network and married one of his daughters, María Victoria. [3]
Following the assassination of Prime Minister José Canalejas in 1912, and the ensuing factional division within the Liberal Party, García-Prieto led the so-called demócrata ("democratic") minority, rival of the romanonista majority. [4]
Within the cadres of the Liberal party, the Marquis of Alhucemas espoused just like Miguel Villanueva the policy of neutrality of Spain during World War I, forcing pro-ally Romanones to resign as Prime Minister in 1917. [5]
He died in San Sebastián on 8 March 1938. [6]
