Valentín González Ramírez

Spanish labourer and anarcho-syndicalist militant in the CNT's sindical de carga y descarga (lit. loading and unloading), whose death at the hands of the Policia Nacional – he was shot and killed by a rubber bullet fired at point-blank range as he came to the aid of his father who was being brutally beaten by the police during a strike at the Mercado de Abastos Frontal in Valencia where they both worked – prompted a general strike in the city, born.
