Franz Tamayo

Franz Tamayo was born in La Paz on 28 February 1879, the son of Isaac Tamayo, a lawyer and public figure, and Felicidad Solares, of Aymara descent. He spent long periods in Europe, attended courses at the Sorbonne and married a Frenchwoman, Blanca Bouyon, a union that did not last. A founder of the Radical Party and a deputy, he represented his country at the League of Nations and became minister of Foreign Affairs. Elected president in 1934, he never took office: the coup d'état that overthrew Daniel Salamanca annulled the vote. He died in his native city on 29 July 1956.
