Bartolomé Martínez

Bartolomé Martínez González (24 August 1873 in Jinotega – 30 January 1936 in Matagalpa) was Nicaraguan politician from the Conservative Party. He served as Vice President of Nicaragua from January 1921 to October 1923.[1] After the death of Diego Manuel Chamorro, Martínez was sworn in to serve the remainder of Chamorro's term as President of Nicaragua from 27 October 1923 to 1 January 1925.[2]

Not to be confused with Cardinal Bartolomé Martí (d. 1500).

In a short time he recovered for national government the customs, the National Bank and the Railroad of Nicaragua, which were in the hands of the American bankers Brown and Seligman. He formed a National Government, including the Liberals.[2]
