Tragic Week
After a major general strike in Barcelona, which ended in the executions of several anarchists, the government repressed elements of the anarchist movement, these events being referred to as the "Tragic Week" (Spanish: "la Semana Trágica"; Catalan: "la Setmana Tràgica"). The following repression of workers' movements brought "Solidaridad Obrera's" activities to a virtual standstill.
