Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ramon Chies Navarro (1846-1893) was a Spanish journalist, editor, and political activist. Best known for his support for anti-clerical and republican positions, Chies was an early proponent of Spanish Freethought as well as an advocate of the right to vote and the eight-hour working day. Chies was born in the municipality of Medina de Pomar, Burgos in 1846, and studied the sciences, philosophy, and law in Santander and Madrid before selecting journalism as his professional focus. Following the success of the Glorious Revolution in 1868, Chies took part in the formation of the Federal Republican Party the same year. Chies was the editor of El voto nacional (The National Vote) and founded the weekly Las dominicales del Libre Pensamiento (The Sundays of Freethought) with Fernando Lozano in 1882. As editor of the Dominicales, Chies was prosecuted for blasphemy and condemned to six months imprisonment and a heavy fine, but was acquitted on appeal after a significant effort to reverse the ruling.
