Prime Minister of Spain on Five Separate Occasions and Spanish, Political Giant Active from 1881 to 1922
: Prime Minister of Spain on five separate occasions. As prime minister, he created the Spanish Institute of Provision and attempted to carry out a reform plan, but it was opposed by the liberals. He fell from power after his suppression of an uprising in Barcelona in 1909, called the Tragic Week. The execution of Francisco Ferrer, who was charged with leading the uprising, provoked a European-wide outcry that contributed to Maura's downfall. (From: Wikipedia.org.)

Quote #5 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Revolution and Authority
“[Those] concerned with public life can be divided into two groups. One includes all those who patronize uprisings and sackings, burnings and revolutions, as well as all those who sympathize with, or compromise with, such things. The other includes all of us who hold ... a deep respect for authority and law... it is absolutely necessary to take action against the first group of individuals.”
