[The following text was translated automatically] Spain, Marinaleda, 1983 Jose Manuel Sanchez Gordillo. Sanchez Gordillo is a politician, labor manager and history teacher. Since 1979, in the first free elections following the Franco dictatorship, he became mayor of Marinaleda and since 2008 he has been a substitute for the United Left in the parliament of Andalusia. In 2018 he was hit by a cerebral infarction, his health has been weak since then. Marinaleda is a village in the province of Seville of the autonomous region of Andalusia. The Andalusian village of Marinaleda became famous for its alternative socialist measures, such as the forced collectivization of agricultural land from large landowners and its radical housing policy. The motto of the municipality of Marinaleda is "una utopia hacia la paz", "a utopia on the road to peace". Juan Manuel Sanchez Gordillo was elected mayor of the Spanish village of Marinaleda for the eleventh consecutive time in 2019. In the first free elections after the Franco dictatorship, Sanchez Gordillo became mayor and he has remained so until now. He fought with his fellow villagers for a decent life for the farm workers in this part of Spain. Photographer Piet den Blanken made a report during the first tenure of Sanchez Gordillo about farm workers in Andalucia and went back to Marinaleda almost 40 years after making that photo series. He found a village with an agricultural cooperative obtained through land occupations and hunger strikes, with social housing for which the residents pay 15 euros per month and with a sports hall and a street name with the name of the legendary revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara. photo Piet den Blanken / Hollandse Hoogte
