Ignacio Ramirez
Juan Ignacio Paulino Ramírez Calzada (born June 22, 1818 in San Miguel el Grande , Guanajuato , † June 15, 1879 ) was a liberal reformist in Mexico .
He came from an indigenous intellectual ruling class and was known as "El Nigromante" . As a pedagogue , journalist , minister of justice , constitutional lawyer , poet and playwright, the universal scholar was one of the leading representatives of his time in several fields of activity. As minister of education , he advocated suppressing the influence of the church in education policy.
Life
In 1835 Ignacio Ramírez began studying art and law at the Colegio de San Juan de Letrán , then moved to Santiago de Querétaro and Mexico City. In 1845 he founded the reform newspaper "Don Simplicio" in Mexico City and a year later the Club Popular , which was committed to repelling the US invasion . After graduating in 1848, he worked for a law firm in Toluca until he was appointed Prefect in Tlaxcala that same year . Four years later, in 1852, Ignacio Ramirez was promoted to lieutenant governor of Sinaloa .
The dictator Antonio Antonio López de Santa Anna had him imprisoned in 1853 and Ignacio Ramirez was only released when he was overthrown in 1855. Under the Indian President Benito Juárez he received the Ministry of Justice and Education in 1861 and in this function created the national library and promoted the expansion of the university. Despite his pan-Latinist attitude , he led the fight against the French invasion , also as a journalist. That's why he fled to the USA in 1864 . Nevertheless, he was imprisoned in Veracruz after the French withdrew, shortly before the fall of Emperor Maximilian I.
Ignacio Ramirez was released and was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1867, but was arrested again after strong criticism of Juarez's re-election and his dictatorial administration. He was reappointed as Minister of Justice by the new President Porfirio Díaz in 1876 and appointed to the Supreme Court.
