Julián Zugazagoitia
Julián Zugazagoitia Mendieta (5 February 1899, Bilbao – 9 November 1940, Madrid) was a Spanish journalist and politician.
A member of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party, he was close to Indalecio Prieto and the editor of the El Socialista in mid-1930s.[1][2] In the first weeks of the Spanish Civil War he wrote against the paseos and denounced the anarchist and communist secret prisons (checas).[3] In October 1936 he wrote in El Socialista: "The life of an adversary who surrenders is unassailable; no combatant can dispose of that life. That is not how the rebels behave. It matters not. It is how we should behave.".[4] In May 1937 he was appointed by the prime minister, Juan Negrín, as minister of Interior of the Second Spanish Republic.[5] Because of the abduction and killing of Andreu Nin, he dismissed the Director General of Security, Antonio Ortega and threatened to resign as minister.[6]
In 1938, he supported the dissolution by force of the anarchist controlled, Consejo de Aragon.[7] He was replaced in May 1938,[8] but in April 1938, he was appointed secretary of the ministry of defence.[9] After the war, he fled to France, but in 1940 was arrested by the Gestapo, handed over to Spain and executed.[10] In France he wrote a history about the Spanish Civil War: Historia de la guerra en España, published in 1940.[11]
