biography
Reign of Isabella II and President of the Government
Pacheco Gutiérrez graduated in law at the University of Sevilla . He then worked as a lawyer.
As chairman of a moderate Catholic - Puritan dissident group, which later became a bourgeois alternative to the militarism of Ramón María Narváez and tried to mediate between the interests of the Partido Moderado and the Partido Progresista , he was first elected member of parliament on September 22, 1837 ( Congreso de los Diputados ), where he represented the interests of the constituencies of Seville , Córdoba , Álava , Vizcaya , Teruel , Pontevedra and Baleares with interruptions until March 1857 . As a member of parliament he was one of the authoritative drafters of the penal code ( Código penal ) of 1848. At times he was also envoy to Rome and Paris .
On March 28, 1847 he was appointed as the successor to Carlos Martínez de Irujo as President of the Spanish Government ( Presidente del Gobierno ). He held this office until August 31, 1847 and was then replaced by Florencio García Goyena . During his tenure, he also took on the post of Foreign Minister ( Ministro de Estado ).
On July 30, 1854 he was appointed foreign minister in the third government of Baldomero Espartero , of which he was a member until November 29, 1854. At the same time he was also the acting Minister for Appeals for Mercy and Justice ( Ministro de Gracia y Justicia ) in this cabinet for a few days .
For his political merits he was then appointed Senator for life ( Senador Vitalicio ) on July 14, 1858 . Most recently he was foreign minister again from March 1 to September 16, 1864 in the cabinet of Alejandro Mon Menéndez .
writer
In addition to his political activities, he was active throughout his life as a writer and the author of travel experiences, poems ( "Meditación" , "A la amnistía" ), dramas, but also of legal specialist books.
His romantic drama "Alfredo" (1835), whose plot, marked by violence and excesses, the love of a young man for his stepmother, is set in Seville in the Middle Ages, received great attention and recognition from José because of its by no means fateful, fateful and capricious emotional plot de Espronceda and Juan Donoso Cortés . Like "Don Álvaro", the drama ended in suicide and the play also had distant similarities with the comedy "El castigo sin venganza" (The punishment without vengeance) by Lope de Vega , published in 1631 .
He was also a journalist for the daily newspapers "El Artist" (The Artist) and "El Español" (The Spaniard). 1834 was the founder and editor of the daily newspaper "El Abeja" (The Bee). He was also the founder of the specialist magazines "La Ley" (The Law) and "Boletín de Jurisprudencia y Legislación" (Bulletin of Law and Legislation) in 1836 . His journalistic work was published as a collective work under the title "Literatura, Historia y Política" , 1864 (literature, history and politics).
Other works were:
- "Los infantes de Lara" , 1836 (historical drama)
- "Historia de la Regencia de María Cristina" , 1841 (History of the reign of Maria Christina of Sicily )
