If the continuous and repeated statements of prominent and forgotten leaders of the Spanish right demonstrate anything, it is that their political model lies in the 19th century, a century in which successive democratic attempts were frustrated by the resistance of those who until then had held all the powers. powers to assume that the world had changed, suppressing many of the privileges born throughout the Middle Ages. Spain was not a different country, just as in France, Italy, Germany or England, revolutionary periods also occurred here that alternated with other reactionary ones in which everything returned to the most lacerating past under the protective auspices of the Catholic Church, always ready to contradict. with facts everything that their leader supposedly advised. The history of Spain diverges from that of Europe when Alfonso XIII comes to power, taking the despotism and corruption of the Restoration to its maximum expression. While in France, the leaders of the Third Republic laid the foundations of a modern and secular State, Alfonso retrograde pedagogy that they could no longer teach in France. The Annual Disaster, the Picasso File on Responsibilities and the subsequent coup d'état by Primo de Rivera caused the bankruptcy of a regime that was leaking from all sides and that would have brought the country to the brink of paralysis and disintegration.
The Second Republic was the response of a vital, enlightened and studious Spain, which knew what was happening in other European countries and in our country, which loved its country so much that when it saw its foundations shake and the future compromised, it decided abandon their comfortable life of study to commit themselves Australia Phone Number to the modernization and progress of the country, correcting the illiteracy and abuses that for centuries had been perpetrated by those who had everything without contributing anything to development or social justice. There was not even an iota of hatred towards anyone in those people, but, on the contrary, the natural ambition for Spain to stop being a property in perpetual inheritance by the same families and their matrimonial close friends of the upper bourgeoisie. It did nothing, in the two years that it was active -1931-1933- that had not been done in France or other countries around us. The problem is that medieval Spain, the Spain of inheritance, of privilege, was much stronger than the vital one that only had its brain and its hands and lacked banks, armies and clerics to support its management.
The Second Spanish Republic was born to end privileges and put Spain in the orbit of the most developed countries in the world, to end centuries of abuses and give the people the knowledge and rights they deserved. From the first moment - May 1931 - it had the enemy of the de facto powers and the criminal military who, having sworn loyalty to the new regime, dedicated themselves to conspiring to put an end to it as quickly as possible. Several attempts failed, the best known being that of Sanjurjo in August 1932, but the cavemen did not stop plotting until on July 17 they decided to take up arms against the intelligence and patriotism of those who loved both Spain and the Spanish. That coup also failed, but the help of Italy, Germany and the Vatican allowed the rebels to turn it into a war that should never have happened. It was, in a way, the fourth Carlist war but this time with the participation of the fascist powers and without Vergara's embrace. Only blood, extermination and revenge. Of course there were excesses on the loyal side, but no order ever came from the Government of the Republic that justified or encouraged them, quite the opposite.
