Alejandro Lerroux García (4 March 1864, in La Rambla, Córdoba – 25 June 1949, in Madrid) was a Spanish politician who was the leader of the Radical Republican Party.[2] He served as Prime Minister three times from 1933 to 1935 and held several cabinet posts as well.[3] A highly charismatic politician, he was distinguished by his demagogical and populist political style.
