Eduardo Ortega y Gasset (1882–1965) was a Spanish politician, journalist and lawyer.
Biography[]
Born in Madrid on 11 April 1882.[1] He was the older brother of philosopher José Ortega y Gasset.[2]
He became a member of the Congress of Deputies after the 1910 general election, in representation of the electoral district of Coín (province of Málaga). He joined the Liberal fraction.[3] He renovated his seat at the 1914, 1916, 1918, 1919, 1920 and 1923 elections.[4]
He joined the Freemasonry in 1922.[1] During the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera, Ortega y Gasset self-exiled to Paris; he became there a close acquaintance of Miguel de Unamuno,[5] collaborating along the latter and Blasco Ibáñez in the España con Honra magazine.[6] He was one of the founders of the Radical Socialist Republican Party (PRRS) in 1929.[7]
He was among the signatories of the Pact of San Sebastián on 17 August 1930.[8]
On 15 April 1931, immediately after the proclamation of the Second Republic, he was appointed Civil Governor of the Province of Madrid.[9] In June 1931, he was replaced as civil governor by Emilio Palomo Aguado.[9] He ran as candidate for the 1931 Constituent election in the constituencies of Ciudad Real, Guadalajara and Granada; elected in the three constituencies, he chose to remain as legislator representing the first constituency.
He was expelled from the PRRS in 1932 along , chiefly on the basis of having repeatedly broke party discipline.[10][4] They formed then the ("Radical Socialist Left").[4] By that time he was Master of the Logia Luis Simarro No. 3 in Madrid.[1]
A target of right-wing terrorist groups, he suffered an attempt on his life on 7 April 1936, when a bomb hidden in a basket of eggs exploded in his residence at the calle de Rafael Calvo 12.[11][12]
He was appointed Attorney General of the Republic in December 1936.[13]
Exiled to Venezuela after the end of the Spanish Civil War,[14] he died on 25 February 1965 in Caracas.[15]
