1 mars 1932 - Land Reform

Description:

The landowner's refusal to change received strong support from the Catholic Church. For years the Church had been developing its own political organisations. The foundation of the Republic highlighted the Church's intransigent attitude. The future leader of the Catholic-backed political party, the CEDA, Jose Maria Robles, decleared his 'unyielding repugnance' to the new Republic. These views were born from long-term conflict over the role of the Church. Landowners did not want to have a new Republic which meant that everyone would be fair and equal because it would result in them possibly losing their land to the peasants which they were not fond about. Many liberal Republican groups identified the Church with reactionary attitudes and believed that its control of education and in 1901 there were more Catholic than state schools--prevented the creation of truly secular state.
