Antoni Ignasi Cervera
Antoni Ignasi Cervera ( Spanish Antonio Ignacio Cervera ; * 1825 in Palma , † 1860 in Madrid ) was a Spanish journalist , author , publisher and leader of the labor movement in Spain.
Life
Cervera founded one of the first labor movements in Spain in Madrid in 1846 in collaboration with Francisco Pi i Margall . The Escuela del Trabajo , institució de cultura obrera , (School of the Workers) campaigned for an organization of simple wage workers against the catastrophic mass poverty at the time of early industrialization, because at that time there was hardly a large section of the population in Spain Able to provide for their own livelihood. These were the years of social disintegration such as unrest, epidemics and neglect of the simple working class.
In 1851 Cervera published a newspaper that appeared every fortnight with the name "The Employee". The El Trabajador should enable the promotion and creation of partnerships between employees and employers. The then government under Isabella II banned the newspaper and the school was also closed. However, Cervera tried on under different names. 1849-1851 he was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of the Democratic Party Partit Democràtic within the faction of the socialist military. In 1854, under his pen, another magazine, La Hoja de las Barricadas, was published, and together with Fernando Garrido Tortosa , the paper La Voz del Pueblo (Voice of the People) followed in 1855 . Faced with renewed difficulties with the government, he and his friends founded a secret society, Societat secreta republicana El Falansterio . The Republican Society was particularly active in Andalusia , Valencia and Asturias and with around 80,000 members it was the strongest labor movement in Spain at that time.
Antoni Ignasi Cervera died in Madrid at the age of 35.
Publications
