Ramón Allende Padín
Dr. Ramón Allende Padín , the red Allende (* 1845 in Chile , † 1884 ) was born as the son of Gregorio Allende Garcés and María Salomé Padín. He was a doctor, a politician of the radical party of Chile and a Freemason .
Ramón was also called the red Allende for two reasons : on the one hand because of his radically liberal political views, on the other hand because of his eye-catching red hair color.
Life
He studied medicine and in 1865 also wrote a book on the connection between hygiene, mortality and poverty caused by typhoid pathogens.
family
He married Eugenia Castro del Fierro and had 4 children with her: Tomás Allende Castro (grandfather of the writer Isabel Allende Llona), Salvador Allende Castro ( Salvador Allende's father), Ramón Allende Castro and Ana Allende Castro.
politics
In 1871 he was elected as a member of parliament, where he represented the radical party for eight years. During this time he fought for civil rights , the separation of church and state and the secularization of cemeteries and civil status files. The foundation of the first secular school (after which he was excommunicated by the Church) and the first maternity clinic in Santiago go back to his suggestion.
In 1879, however, he resigned his office to volunteer in the Chilean army in the saltpeter war , from which he returned in poor health and died of the consequences in 1884.
