Manuel Carrasco i Formiguera

The biography of one of the politicians who has left a deeper mark on our country, and who was shot at the hands of the Francoists during the Civil War. He is a key figure in understanding the past and present history of Catalanism, and one of the politicians who has left a deeper mark on the history of our country during the first half of the 20th century. Through his ideology -Christian, Catalanist, radical anti-monarchist...-, and also through his government work -both in the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Barcelona City Council, but also in entities of a smaller scope- , the historian Lluís Duran discovers the biography and political legacy of a man who devoted his life to defending Catalonia, democracy and the Republic, even if this entailed reprisals during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera and, in full Civil War, a very summary trial that condemned him to be shot by Franco's troops. Following his political trajectory - from Joventut Nacionalista to Action Catalana - Partit Catalanista Republicanà, passing through the impulse to Unió Democràtica de Catalunya -, we approach a man who has left an unparalleled legacy.
