Osvaldo Escribano (1939–2025)
From Anarchistická federace
He was born in 1939. At the age of 18, he was drawn to anarchism, through the anarchist club of the José Ingenieros People's Library. In the 1960s, he became involved in student revolts. He was also part of the cooperative movement and the peasant movement, and became one of the founders of a federation of housing cooperatives. He was a member of the Comunidade do Sul do Uruguai (Community of Southern Uruguay), an experiment in free living in which he practiced his ideas for years, until his exile in Argentina in 1974.
