Horacio Bernardo Oyhanarte

Horacio Bernardo Oyhanarte (born March 15, 1885 in Rojas , Buenos Aires Province , † November 7, 1946 in Buenos Aires ) was an Argentine foreign minister and lawyer.

Life

Horacio Bernardo Oyhanarte was the son of María Hegoburu and Juan Oyhanarte (* 1861; † 1896). His siblings included the poets Raúl F. Oyhanarte (* 1892), Rodolfo (* March 2, 1886) and Juan Oyhanarte, who was consul general in Hamburg from 1924 to 1933 . Father Juan Oyhanarte was a journalist and founded the radical newspaper La Verdad . He was shot dead on his doorstep on March 1, 1896, after demanding the release of prisoners of the radical party during a demonstration in front of the Rojas prison. As a result, the mother took over the management of the newspaper and the family was supported by Hipólito Yrigoyen . Oyhanarte took part in the radical revolution of 1905. In 1907 he graduated from the Universidad Nacional de La Plata with the thesis La prueba de presunción y la jurisprudencia argentina sobre la materia (alleged evidence and jurisprudence on the subject of Argentina) from his law studies . He practiced the profession of lawyer and had mandates in prominent cases. Oyhanarte was a typical representative of the new middle class, which at that time organized itself in the radical party. In 1914 he became a member of the Congress of the Unión Cívica Radical . He gave a prominent speech on electoral fraud in the Buenos Aires constituency. In 1915 he challenged Alfredo Lorenzo Palacios to a duel, for which his failure to appear resulted in his exclusion from the Socialist Party. In the 1916 presidential election campaign, he wrote the book "El Hombre" about the life of Hipolito Yrigoyen, who was elected in this election.

On September 24 and 25, 1917, during the First World War, he gave a speech in Congress in which he tried to defend the neutrality of Argentina.

Foreign minister

From 1928 to 1930, during Hipólito Yrigoyen's second term in office , he was Foreign Minister.

He signed a contract with Edgar Vincent, 1st Viscount D'Abernon, to exchange British railroad vehicles for Argentinian beef. He signed a contract with the Soviet Union for the purchase of 250,000 tons of crude oil within three years for leather, wool and forestry products. Since with this contract the cartel of oil companies got a competitor, he contributed to the coup on September 6, 1930 against Hipólito Yrigoyen, after which the década infame began in Argentina. Oyhanarte brought Hipólito Yrigoyen in its passenger cars to Montevideo . An extradition request by the government of General José Félix Uriburu for corruption was not complied with by the Uruguayan government under Juan Campisteguy . After Hipólito Yrigoyen died in Montevideo in 1933, Oyhanarte returned to Buenos Aires, where he was immediately arrested. Oyhanarte gave the Minister of the Interior, Leopoldo Melo, who had moved from the Unión Cívica Radical to the Unión Cívica Radical Antipersonalista, the promise that he would return to prison after the funeral of Hipólito Yrigoyen. His request was granted and Oyhanarte said in his funeral speech: My father has died. He spent six months in custody in Devoto, Buenos Aires, and was released without charge. He went to the diplomatic service in Paris. From 1940 to 1942 he was in Vichy . During a stay in Switzerland he married Phykis Oeri, they had two daughters. He attended an inter-American conference and returned to Argentina in 1944. There Juan Perón offered him the candidacy for the vice presidency in his electoral alliance. Oyhanarte turned down the offer. But he also resigned from his functions in the Comité Nacional of the Unión Cívica Radical in the context of disagreements over the Unión Democrática, a faction of the Unión Cívica Radical, which supported the electoral alliance against Peron. He is buried in the Pantheon of the Heroes of the Revolution of 1890, in the Recoleta Cemetery , next to Leandro Alem and Yrigoyen.
