Biography[]

Lamoneda was born in Begíjar, Jaén, on 9 June 1892.[1] His family moved to Madrid in 1904.[2] He began his career as a typographer in Madrid and became a member of the Graphic Federation of the General Union of Workers and the Socialist Youth group.[1] Lamoneda went to Belgium in 1913 to attend the courses at the International Socialist School where he studied the work by Centrale d’Éducation Ouvrière.[3] In August 1914 he joined the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party,[1] and Manuel Núñez de Arenas and he were responsible for running of the party's education institution, Central de Educación Socialista, which was founded in 1913 to train future administrators.[3] Lamoneda left the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party and joined the Communist Party in the 1920s.[4] However, later he returned to the socialists.[1]

He was a deputy for the Cortes for Granada following the elections in 1933 and 1936.[1] In September 1938 he became the first general secretary of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party.[5][6] He was in office until 1942.[5] In 1946 he went into exile in Mexico where he worked as a type director at various publishing houses.[5] He died in Mexico City on 27 February 1971.[5]

From 1946 to 2009 Lamoneda was not mentioned in the history of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party.[2] Lamoneda's membership status was rehabilitated on 12 December 2009 in a ceremony held in Madrid, and his membership card was given to his children.[2]
