Life

After primary school, he settled in Cornellà de Llobregat at the age of 13 , where he worked as an electrician and fitter for Siemens . In the 1960s he joined the Union Workers' Commission (CCOO) and was a member of the only union in Spain that existed during the Franco era. He was also a member of the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSUC), of which he was a member of the Executive Committee. He was also secretary of the Catalan CCOO department for the metal industry.

In the Spanish parliamentary elections of 1977 and 1979 he was elected member of the Congress of the Barcelona constituency. In 1980 he resigned from this mandate to run for the elections to the Catalan Parliament , in which he was also elected.

He was a member of the pro-Soviet sector of the PSUC, was expelled from the PSUC in December 1981 and founded the Communist Party of Catalonia (PCC) in 1982 with Pere Ardiaca and other comrades. Later he was general secretary of the Communist Party of the Peoples of Spain (PCPE), in which he led the wing against the continuation of the alliance with the Izquierda Unida in 1988 , which caused the PCC to break with the PCPE. In 2002 he was replaced by Carmelo Suárez, a Canarian trade unionist and founder of the Fundación Obrera de Investigación y Cultura, from his post as General Secretary of the PCPE.
