A short biography of Alain Pecunia, French anarchist militant.

When I was living and working in Paris in the early 70s, I attended meetings of the Alliance Syndicaliste Revolutionnaire et Anarcho-syndicaliste (ASRAS) at 21 Rue Jean Robert in the 18th arrondissement. These involved around 30 militants wishing to orient the anarchist movement to workplace agitation. Alongside Bulgarian exiles and the granddaughter of the Spanish libertarian Juan Peiro, victim of dictator General Franco’s firing squads, and both French veterans and those new to the movement, was Alain Pecunia, by then confined to a wheelchair.
