Pablo Manfredi (c. 1800 – c. 1860) was one of five interim mayors of Ponce, Puerto Rico, during the period of 14 February 1854 to 24 July 1854.[2][3] The other four interim mayors during that six-month period were Julio Duboc, Escolástico Fuentes, José Benito Paz Falcón, and Antonio E. Molina.[4]
Introduction to politics
[edit]Manfredi had performed as "4th mayor" under mayor José de Jesús Fernández in the 1846. The position was the result of the new Decreto Orgánico de 1846 (1846 Organic Decree), a new Law for Municipalities that allowed for increased centralization of public administration and greater political control over municipalities.[5] Despite this lack of full political control at the municipal level, the former job allowed Manfredi to gain administrative experience for his work as mayor.
