Protasio Tagle[a] (1839 – 31 July 1903) was a Mexican soldier, politician and lawyer.
He participated in the Reform War (1857–1861) as a member of the liberal sector, and later led a republican division during the second French intervention in Mexico (1861–1867).
In 1867 he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies for the State of Mexico, and he was re-elected to the Chamber in 1869.[1]
He joined general Porfirio Díaz during the 1876 Revolution of Tuxtepec (see Plan de Tuxtepec).
After Díaz won and became the president of Mexico, Tagle was appointed governor of the Federal District in 1876 and, from 17 February to 23 May 1877, Secretary of the Interior; he was unpopular in the position and was severely criticised for his support of the Federal District's governor over banned forms of gaming.[1][2]
On 14 May 1877 the Chamber of Deputies elected him to the Supreme Court. On 2 June, he requested a leave of absence from his Supreme Court position, but was denied; upset with the refusal, he presented his resignation, which was accepted on 2 May 1878. From June 1877 to November 1879 he also served as Secretary of Justice and Public Instruction.[1] In 1879 there were possibilities for him to be the presidential candidate, but he was defeated by Manuel González and finally retired from political activities.
He died on 31 July 1903.[3]
