Anarchism in Costa Rica emerged in the 1890s, when it first came to the attention of the country's ruling elites, including the Catholic Church.
History
In the 1900s, a number of anarchist-leaning newspapers were established in Costa Rica.[1]
During the 1905 bakers' strike for the
anarcho-syndicalists from Spain, while the Costa Rican leaders were themselves imprisoned in Alajuela
.
In 1909, after the assassination of
Santiago de Puriscal. The Alajuela publication El Sol, though not anarchist itself, frequently welcomed contributions from people with anarchist tendencies. In 1913, the Costa Rican workers' movement first celebrated May Day organized by the Centro de Estudios Sociales Germinal and many of the country's trade unions. The Confederación General de Trabajadores was subsequently formed, and organized throughout the 1910s.[2] From 1917, the anarchist movement experienced a severe repression by the military dictatorship of Federico Tinoco Granados
.
In 1926, a libertarian group was formed in San José for the purpose of direct action.[3]
