Life

In the 1920s he was a member of the Partido Genuino Republicano of Daniel Salamanca Urey . From 1932 to 1935 he was Minister of War in the Chaco War .

In 1940 he became a senator.
In 1947 he was elected president by a new party made up of supporters of Bautista Saavedra Mallea , Genuine the Partido de la Unión Republicana Socialista (PURS). He prevailed against the liberal candidates Fernando Guachalla and Víctor Paz Estenssoro from the MNR. He formed a government cabinet with a minister of labor, who was provided by the PIR, and raised expectations of economic progress among the population. 1947 was marked by sales problems for tin . Which did not encourage the tin miners to meet a 60% wage demand. Instead, in the case of Siglo XX, with the support of the National Bank, all employees were laid off and handpicked back to the minimum wage. His government was exposed to the opposition of the Movimiento Nacionalista Revolucionario . In 1949, the left parties were able to record an increase in voters. The party leadership of the Partido de la Unión Republicana Socialista doubted whether Enrique Hertzog Garaizabal could maintain the status quo and convinced him to resign for health reasons. Its vice-president Mamerto Urriolagoitia Harriague became president.
From 1949 to April 1952, Enrique Hertzog Garaizabal was ambassador Mamerto Urriolagoitia and Hugo Ballivián to Francisco Franco . Even after the Movimiento Nacionalista Revolucionario came to power , he remained in exile in Madrid . In May 1957, after the government of Hernán Siles Zuazo closed the internment camps for the Falange Socialista Boliviana , he returned to Bolivia and took over the leadership of the Partido de la Unión Republicana Socialista from Gabriel Gozálvez, who had died but left soon afterwards to Buenos Aires.
In 1964, after the coup by René Barrientos Ortuño , he again unsuccessfully sought political allies in Bolivia.
