Biography

In 1950, Fidel Manrique was born in Medina del Campo, Valladolid. As a transport and hospitality worker, he became an anarcho-syndicalist and participated in the reorganization of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), the Spanish anarcho-syndicalist labor union, during the Spanish transition to democracy, until he was prosecuted for his militant activities.

He moved to Torrelavega, Cantabria, where he collaborated in the reconstitution of the local union. On July 21, 2007, he was elected the general secretary of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), a position that he held until December 2010. Torrelavega acted as seat of the CNT during his tenure.

He was expelled from the CNT, along with his entire union, in January 2017, for not paying dues for more than 2 years.
