oct 1, 1933 - Founding of FALANGE Party

Description:

Formed by Rivera's son, Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera. Right-wing extremist fascist group. The party was republican, modernist, championed the lower classes and opposed both oligarchy and communism, but it never garnered the kind of popular following demonstrated by fascist movements elsewhere in Europe. The Falange party was shunned by other right-leaning parties in the Spanish general election of 1936. It received just 0.7% of the vote and did not win a single seat in the Cortes. Having likely never exceeded ten thousand members in the early 1930s, the Falange lost supporters in the run-up to the Spanish Civil War, leaving a core of young, dedicated activists, many in the organization's student organization, the Sindicato Español Universitario.[13] The Falangist program was heavily influenced by Catholicism but the party desired separation between church and state. The Falangist were in some ways anti-conservative, as while most of the Spanish conservative right refused any reform and defended private property at all levels, the Falange favoured some nationalisations.The party thus did not desire a left-wing revolution but poverty alleviation and to end class struggle by using a new, vertical, syndicalist structure under the Falange. The party desired to attract people from all social classes, whether or not they had been members of left-wing organisations; the Falange viewed conflict between political parties as a consequence of liberalism and democracy. They hoped this unification would make Spain powerful again and allow Spain to launch further imperial acquisitions.
