His struggle against Gerardo Machado's dictatorship and United States imperialism in Cuba was the reason that led him to exile. He was a correspondent in Spain, writing for the Mexican newspaper El Machete. He fought for the Republic and against Francisco Franco's forces in the Spanish Civil War, and died in combat, while fighting in Majahonda city during the heroic defense of Madrid.
