His period of government was short but very important for the political situation of the country at the time. ==His life== Facundo Machaín Recalde was a lawyer and politician. He was born in Asunción, on November 26, 1845. He studied in Chile, in the Universidad Central where he graduated from Law School. His professor was the Argentine Andrés Bello. He was 25 years old when he was elected President. His parents were José Serapio Machaín y Zavala and Clara Recalde y Machaín. He married Clara Recalde, but had no children. He had several siblings: Esteban, León, Raymundo (who married his widow), Josefa (married Federico Zorraquín), Francisca (married Alberto Robinson), Emilia and Serapio Machaín. Facundo was one of the first Paraguayans who spoke in a public square to the people and managed to captivate the audience with his strong personality, his youth and culture. According to the biography written by José Segundo Decoud, Facundo was a good speaker but had difficulties with writing. He was murdered at the age of 32 in his prison cell by the henchmen who guarded him, in the massacre of the public jail on October 29, 1877. His death caused great sadness in Paraguayan society. It was said that with it, Paraguayan writing lost a great professor. A street in the neighborhood of Mariscal Estigarribia, in Asunción, is named after Facundo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Facundo Machaín」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
