Cayetano Redondo Aceña

[2] In 1918, Redondo was leader of the National Federation of Juventudes Socialistas, the youth wing of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE).

[2] After the start of the Spanish Civil War, at the height of the attacks and bombings carried by the Francoist faction on Madrid, Mayor Pedro Rico fled for Valencia hidden in a car boot.
