Regional Federation of Resistance Societies of the Spanish Region

The Regional Federation of Resistance Societies of the Spanish Region ( Spanish Federación Regional de Sociedades de Resistencia de la Región Española, FRSR ), also known as the Spanish Regional Federation of Resistance Societies ( Spanish Federación Regional Española de Sociedades de Resistencia, FRE ) is an anarchist working organization created in Madrid on October 13-15, 1900, as an attempt to form an independent trade union center, not connected with the General Union of Workers (TSA). The call for a constituent congress was published on the pages of the magazine Suplemento a la Revista Blanca ( Spanish Suplemento a la Revista Blanca ), the editor of which was the anarchist Federico Urales , and supported by other well-known anarchists.

At the founding congress delegates from 150 societies of workers' resistance were represented, numbering about 52,000 members ^[1] .

The second congress was held in Madrid in October 1901 with the participation of 51 delegates representing 57 societies and 75,000 workers ^[2] .

After four congresses, held in 1901 , 1903 (Madrid), 1904 ( Seville ) and 1905 (Madrid), the Federation disappeared, and even the new congress, convened in April 1906 , did not take place. The final communique of the Federation was published in 1907 in La Coruna .
