Anarchism in Spain: From Direct Action to Anarcho-Syndicalism

The international section of Spanish anarchism, stemming from the Bakunin trend, changed its name to the Federation of Workers in the Spanish Region (FTRE). This adaptation was necessary due to new laws banning international organizations operating from abroad.

During the 1893–1897 period, Spain witnessed outstanding acts of social violence, including:

• Attacks against key figures in political life.
• Bombs at the Liceo de Barcelona (Bcn), a representative body of bourgeois society.
• Attacks against the procession of Corpus Christi, a symbol of popular ecclesiastical worship.

Anarchism was accused of being behind the "Black Hand," murders attributed to its members, and the burning of crops...

Ancient Greek Polis: Political Systems and Institutions

Birth of the Polis

Forms of Government in the Polis

Athens experienced various forms of government throughout its history:

• Aristocratic Oligarchy: Political power was held by a few aristocratic families who owned large estates.
• Tyranny: A form of government led by a single individual, often an aristocrat, who seized power through false promises or force.
• Democracy:

Item 20: Administrative Resources

20.1. Objectives and Resource Management

Administrative appeals and complaints prior to litigation are two partner institutions aimed at building a primary route of administrative review. This process allows individuals injured in their rights or interests to seek redress before the Administration.

The Role of Administrative Appeals

The conversion of the earlier administrative appeal process into a condition for administrative litigation assumes that this is part of a reactive law and a guarantee for the individual. It allows stakeholders to argue the validity or timeliness of an administrative act or conduct. Furthermore, the administrative appeal serves as a privilege for the Administration, acting as a filter...

Suspension of Rights: Article 55 CE

Article 55 CE outlines two types of rights suspension:

• Collective: Linked to exceptional states (Article 55.1 CE and 116 CE).
• Individual: Linked to the prosecution of terrorism.

The suspension is not automatic; the declaration act must specify which rights are suspended. This allows for modulation of the suspension's extent. All rights to personal freedom can be suspended, although the rights to be informed of the reason for detention, not to testify, and assistance can only be suspended in a state of siege. Many rights have not been suspended to date.

Individual suspension (Article 55.2) differs from collective suspension as it affects only those in specific circumstances, primarily to facilitate terrorism investigations....

Freedom of movement both inside and outside Spanish territory presents no issue for Spanish nationals. Furthermore, Spain's incorporation into the European Community...
