Pour one out for a real one. #Originalantifa Octavio Alberola has passed away at the age of 97. Via Marcolino Jeremais:

"Born into a deeply anarchist and rationalist family — his father was a teacher at the Ferrer i Guardia Modern School — Octavio experienced the horrors of the Civil War and exile, traveling through France and Mexico since the age of ten. It was in this exile that he absorbed liberal ideas, forged his character, and decided to devote his entire life to human emancipation.

He was associated with Juventude Libertária and CNT; participated in the July 26 Movement in Cuba. His struggle led him to found — as a representative of FIJL — the clandestine group Home Defense (1961-1965), which organized actions against Franco's regime and symbolic attacks with deep social and political content. In the mid-1960s, he founded the Group 1o de May (1966-1974), an internationalist anarchist alternative that denounced Franco oppression and terror with courage and determination. He was arrested in Belgium (1968) and in France (1974) he was arrested with 10 other companions for participating in the kidnapping of the director of the Bank of Bilbao in Paris, Baltasar Suárez, in protest against the execution of Salvador Puig Antich. He spent almost a year and a half behind bars for his steadfast commitment.

After Franco's death, he continued the democratic resistance: collaborated with CGT in Spain, COJRA in France, Radio Libertaire and various memory rescue initiatives, such as the review of Franco trials and support for libertarians in Cuba. He was an essayist, lecturer and a polyglot of critical thinking, able to debate quantum physics and art with the same passion with which he denounced social injustice. His life was a testimony of thought in action, of conscious rebellion, of an armed struggle contextualized by oppression, but always permeated by the ethical imperative of not harm innocent people."

Octavio Alberola Is Dead: His 96 Years Were a Perennial Struggle for Anarchy.

Octavio Alberola: The anarchist flame that did not go out!
Octavio Alberola Suriñach
(Alaior, Menorca, 1928 – 24 July 2025)
Born into a deeply anarchist and rationalist family – his father was a professor at the Modern School of Ferrer Guardia and a cultural worker in Aragon – Octavio lived through the horrors of the Civil War and exile, traveling to France and Mexico from the age of 10. It was during that exile that he absorbed anarchist ideas, forged his character and decided to devote his entire life to the emancipation of humanity.

An engineer and physicist trained at UNAM, he joined the Juventudes Libertarias and the CNT; he participated in the 26 de Julio Movement in Cuba and defined his life with a watchword: “The revolution does not serve to satisfy revenge but to set an example”. His struggle led him to found, as a representative of the FIJL, the clandestine group Internal Defense (1961-1965), the last libertarian attempt at armed struggle against the Franco regime, which organized actions against Francoism, including the failed assassination of Franco and other attacks. In the mid-1960s, he founded the Grupo Primero de Mayo (1966-1974). He was arrested in Belgium (1968) and France (1974), spending about a year and a half behind bars for his unwavering commitment. After Franco’s death, he continued his militancy: he collaborated with CGT in Spain, COJRA in France, Radio Libertaire and various initiatives to redeem memory, such as the review of Franco’s trials and support for libertarians in Cuba.

In the intimate-documentary biography “The Weight of the Stars”, Ottavio reveals his capacity for ethical reflection, his firm rejection of authoritarianism and his continuous willingness to revise and renew his convictions from a humanistic perspective.

His life is testimony of a thought in action, of a rebellion with conscience, of armed struggle. His voice, until the end of 96 years, was a voice of dignity and hope.

Epitaph:
Here lies Ottavio Alberola,
seed of righteousness sown in adversity,
fire of thought that illuminates the path of the people,
fury against the oppressor, tenderness for the oppressed.
His life was a song to responsible freedom,
a perennial example of struggle for humanity.

May his memory inspire our capacity for action,
that his integrity is a banner in times of despair,
that his gaze committed to the common good
guide us in building a more just world.
