Juan Larrea (politician)

Juan Larrea, Spanish businessman and politician, (Catalonia, Spain, 1782 - Buenos Aires, 1847) was an established immigrant in Buenos Aires around the year 1800 and in 1810 participated as a committee member in the Primera Junta (First Assembly). He was only one of the two Spanish-born accepted as committee members of the Junta, (the other one being Domingo Matheu).

He was part of the Asamblea del Año XIII and presided over the three-day sessions that established the national anthem, ended slavery, abolished all titles of nobility, the use of torture and the Spanish Inquisition.

He was Economy Minister of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata (today's Argentina) on October 1812, where he was a strong proponent of the establishment of a naval force commanded by William Brown.
