Fermín Salvochea y Álvarez

Fermín Salvochea y Álvarez (1842 March 1 — 1907 September) is an author, teacher, insurrectionist, briefly mayor of Cadiz with the proclamation of the 1st Republic; among other measures, he implemented an 8-hour work day before he was forced to flee the country. In southern Spain, Fermín Salvochea was one of the most influential figures in Andalusian anarchism. Down there, the people were pitted against a bourgeoisie that owned huge & unproductive landed estates. When he dies, 50,000 people attend his burial & his tomb since then never lacks a daily renewal of flowers.
