Pact of Lestrobe

Curiosity · Dodro, Sar, A Coruña

The Pact of Lestrobe was the clandestine meeting held on 26 March 1930 at the Pazo da Hermida de Lestrobe, in Dodro, where Galician republican leaders —among them Xerardo Abad Conde and Santiago Casares Quiroga— agreed on the founding of the Federación Republicana Gallega, with the aim of establishing a democratic republican regime and fighting for the autonomy of Galicia. The meeting, with more than fifty delegates from the ORGA, Radical, Radical-Socialista and Republicano Federal parties, took place after the failure of a previous meeting that had been betrayed; the owner of the pazo, José Vázquez Batalla, offered his house and kept watch from the tower in case they had to flee to the mountains of Barbanza. The new Federation sent Casares Quiroga as delegate to the Pact of San Sebastián.
