Lorenzo Sáenz y Fernández Cortina dating history

Details

Lorenzo Sáenz y Fernández Cortina (1863–1939) was a Spanish politician and publisher. Politically he supported the Carlist cause, though in the mid-1930s he assumed a somewhat dissident stand and co-led a faction known as Cruzadistas. His career climaxed in 1908–1910, when he served in the lower chamber of the Cortes. Within the party ranks during two spells of 1912-1913 and 1929-1932 he served in the national executive Junta Nacional, and in 1929-1932 he held the regional jefatura in New Castile. As a publisher in the 1890s and 1900s he founded and animated minor titles issued in eastern Andalusia, but is better known as one of key figures behind Madrid-based Carlist periodicals, El Correo Español (1919–1921) and El Cruzado Español (1929–1936). As an entrepreneur he was engaged in banking, olive oil, hydroelectricity and mining businesses.
