Juan Francisco de León surrendered to Spanish authorities and gave testimony in the Caracas city council chamber. The surrender followed the 1749–1752 movement against the Guipuzcoan Company and its suppression by the colonial government. Officials treated the movement as a public-order threat and pursued its leaders. De León’s surrender marked a stage in repression; it did not resolve the economic grievances or alter the legal status of enslaved people in the province.
