The 1st PSOE Congress was held in Barcelona (Spain) between August 23 and 25, 1888, during the Regency of Maria Christina of Habsburg, nine days after the 1888 Barcelona Workers' Congress in which the General Union of Workers was founded, linked to the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (Partido Socialista Obrero Español, PSOE) founded in Madrid in 1879. Thus, "for the first time in the history of Spain, a clear and distinct definition was proposed between a working class party (which aspires to the exercise of power) and a resistance organization or union, aimed at defending the interests of all workers in their relations of production (with employers or companies) and, in general, their living conditions".[1]
