Abstract
Fernando Vázquez Ocaña (Baena, 1898-México DF, 1966) left Spain on February 1939. This journalist started to be forgotten. His leading figure remained in the anonymity for fifty years despite he was member of the Parliament in 1933, became spokesman in Negrín’s government and editor of La Vanguardia and El Socialista (in its Mexican edition). Vázquez Ocaña had a brilliant background in his journalist career marked by unpleasant events as the death of his wife at the age of 37, the separation from his eight children who had to live with Belgian families, his exile in 1939 and the impossibility to come back Spain. In 1957, in Mexico DF he published one of the first Federico García Lorca’s biographies in exile.Downloads
