Francisco Dueñas Díaz (3 December 1810 – 4 March 1884) was a Salvadoran politician and member of the Conservative Party who served as President of El Salvador on four different occasions: 3 May 1851 to 30 January 1852, 1 February 1852 to 1 February 1854, 1 to 12 February 1856 in acting capacity, and 26 October 1863 to 15 April 1871.[1]
He was "an ardent defender of the clerical interests. Dueñas at one time had taken the vows as a Dominican, but when the convents were closed in 1829, he left the cloister and secured a papal dispensation." Under his leadership, "the clerical party was in the ascendancy and El Salvador experienced a far-reaching Conservative reaction."[2]
Personal life
Francisco Dueñas Díaz was born on 3 December 1810 in San Salvador, El Salvador.[1] His father was José Miguel Dueñas and his mother was Secundina Díaz.[1] He married on Teresa Dárdano on 12 February 1866 and his ceremony was presided over by Bishop Tomás Pineda y Zaldaña.[1] He had five children: Francisco, Carlos, Miguel, Pablo, and Antonia.[1]
