The trade unionist and politician Rafa Madueño, one of the founders of the PSC, died this May Day at the age of 75, as reported by the mayor of Tiana, Isaac Salvatierra, and the president of the Catalan socialists, Miquel Iceta.
Madueño, born in Andalusia, moved to Badalona in 1959 and in 1978 he was one of the founders of the PSC. In fact, Madueño was a deputy for the socialists in the Parliament of Catalonia in three terms, between 1986 and 1995.
