Augusto González Besada

He started his professional work in the Bar Association of Pontevedra where he obtained a lot of fame and later in Madrid.

In the next electoral processes, González Besada was elected by the constituencies of Cádiz in 1907, Almeria in 1910, Alicante in 1914 and Lugo in 1916 and 1919.

He was one of the spokespersons of the conservative opposition in the Congress of Deputies, an opposition that rejected the Consumables Substitution Act planned by José Canalejas and he announced that when the conservatives return to power, they would block that law, as it happened.

Two years later, to honor his memory, King Alfonso XIII created the Marquessate of González Besada, in favor of his widow.
