José María García Verde
Spanish engineer and politician (1896–1955)
José María García Verde (14 March 1896 − 26 May 1955) was a Spanish engineer and traditionalist politician.
Biography
He was born in a deeply Catholic family of Bilbao, and his parents were Hermenegildo García Sanz (1850–1929) and Cándida Verde Delgado (1860–1932). His father was a member of the Integrist Party and one of the most important promoters of El Siglo Futuro. An important and wealthy local figure, García Sanz had founded three Catholic schools for poor children at the Province of Soria. Hermenegildo was a staunch traditionalist and a great admirer of Ecuadorian president Gabriel García Moreno, considered a founding figure of Catholic Integralism. He educated his children in strict Catholic discipline and transmitted his political beliefs to them.
His family had lived in Argentina, where they held some businesses, and García Verde would travel to the Americas frequently. García Verde lived in Bilbao for most of his childhood, but would travel every summer and autumn to Soria and Derroñadas, the birth town of his father.
After his family moved to Madrid, José María García Verde was chosen as leader of the youth wing of the Integrist Party at the capital city, standing out as an organizer of public propaganda meetings.
He worked as an engineer during his youth years, but left his profession to move to the Cordoban countryside and become a rancher.
