Biography

In 1893, Joan Porqueras i Fàbregas was born in the Sant Martí de Provençals neighborhood of Barcelona. The son of a bartender, he studied bookkeeping. In 1909, he took part in the events of Tragic Week, was wounded and fled to Argentina. After a few years he returned to Barcelona and worked in various occupations. He took part in the 1931 local elections as a candidate for Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC), at the same time as he was a member of the CNT's Liberal Professions Union. As a member of the Ateneu Enciclopèdic Popular, he founded the Institut de Ciències Econòmics de Catalunya, where he taught three economics courses.

In August 1936 he was elected as a member of the CNT to the Economic Council of Catalunya, from where he signed the Collectivisation Decree and drafted the civil mobilization project.
