Little is known about Joan Peiró’s character, a leader of the Catalan anarchosindycalism who had on the contrary a very important role within CNT, the Spanish anarchist union. He was one of the chief characters of the said union split and, most of all, one of the four anarchist who entered, as Industry’s Minister, the Spanish Republic’s government during the Civil Warcome. The article is mainly biographical and tries to show the anarchist’s political education and his role within the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo.
