Who was Josep Lluís i Facerias?
Josep Lluis Facerias was a Catalan insurrectionary anarchist. He was born in Barcelona, Spain, on January 6, 1920. He was nicknamed 'Face'. When the military revolt took place in July 1936, Facerias was already affiliated to the National Confederation of Labour and to the Libertarian Youth. He fought on the Aragon front throughout the war in the Ascaso column and in other units. In the last battles in Catalonia he was taken prisoner and Facerias was in various concentration camps and work gangs. When he was released at the end of 1945 he joined, in Barcelona, the industrial network of the Graphic Arts of the clandestine CNT although in fact he was working as a waiter.
In April 1946, Facerias was nominated for the post of Defence Secretary of the Regional Committee of Catalonia and the Balearics of the Federation of Libertarian Youth of Iberia.
On August 17, 1946, Facerias was arrested with almost all of the members of the Regional Committee along with other CNT activists: a total of 39 comrades ended up in jail. He came out of prison in July 1947.
Meanwhile the Libertarian Resistance Movement had been created which was intended to be the armed wing of Spanish anarcho-syndicalism.
