Luis Conrado Batlle y Berres (1897 - 1964) was a Uruguayan political figure.

Background

Batlle Berres was a journalist and prominent member of the Uruguayan Colorado Party. He was selected — in hindsight, with far-reaching effect — to serve as Vice Presidential running-mate for Luis Tomás Berreta.

Vice President of Uruguay

He served as Vice President of Uruguay in 1947, succeeding Alberto Guani and held this office upon the death of President Berreta.

Historical note

Batlle Berres was the fourth person to hold the office of Vice President of Uruguay. The office dates from 1934, when César Charlone became Uruguay's first Vice President.

President of Uruguay (1st period of office)

He was President of Uruguay from 1947 to 1951.

Within the Colorado Party he is now widely acknowledged for being the founder of the political branch known as "Neo-Batllism". In this first period of Presidential office the Vice President of Uruguay was Alfeo Brum.

President of Uruguay (2nd period of office)

Batlle Berres was President of Uruguay again from 1955 to 1956. For this period, the office of Vice President of Uruguay, via which Batlle Berres himself had succeeded to the Presidency in his first term, was in abeyance.

Background

The great great grandson of Catalan settlers from Sitges, he was the son of another political figure, Luis Batlle y Ordóñez, brother of ex president José Batlle. His mother, Petrona Berres, was of Irish descent and died when he was still a small child. Then, his father remarried but died soon after, in 1908. As a result, he went to live with his uncle and his cousins in a farm in the suburbs of Montevideo.

In 1927 he married Matilde Ibáñez, with whom he had three children, the also ex president Jorge Batlle, Luis Batlle and Matilde Linda Batlle, the latter born in Argentina.

He was a member of the Colorado Party.
