Rodolfo Llopis in 1963

Rodolfo Llopis Ferrándiz (27 February 1895, Callosa d'En Sarrià, Alicante, Spain[1] – 22 July 1983, Albi, France[2]) was a Spanish socialist politician. He was the General Secretary of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party in exile from 1944 to 1974.[3]

In 1947 he succeeded José Giral as prime minister of the Spanish Republican government in exile.[4] Álvaro de Albornoz y Liminiana succeeded him the same year. Prior to this, from 1931 to 1936, he was a Deputy representing Alicante and briefly Madrid.[5]

During the period of the Spanish Second Republic, Llopis was heavily involved with primary education reforms.[6] His achievements in this role were great and this, combined with his dapper appearance and youth, earned him the title of "the Rudolph Valentino of pedagogy."[7]
