Erasmo Regüeiferos

Erasmo Regüeiferos y Boudet was a Cuban lawyer, politician, Speaker of the Cuban Advisory Law Commission under Colonel Enoch H. Crowder for the Provisional Government of Cuba, and the Secretary of Justice for Cuban President Alfredo Zayas, acting as the Attorney General and Director for the Cuban Department of Justice in the early 1920's.

Career

Prior to his entry into the government of the Provisional Government, he was a successful lawyer in his hometown of Santiago de Cuba, and was a playwright who wrote at least one play.
In 1923, he was implicated in the perceived corrupt sale of the Santa Clara convent, and was the subject of anti-government discourse by a group of young intellectuals led by Rubén Martínez Villena during the events of the Protest of the Thirteen, which interrupted the first public ceremony in which he had ever taken part.
