19 ноя 1933 г. - 1933 Spanish General Election

Описание:

Elections to Spain's legislature, the Cortes Generales, were held on November 19, 1933 for all 473 seats in the unicameral Cortes of the Second Spanish Republic. Since the previous elections of 1931, a new constitution had been ratified, and the franchise extended to more than six million women. The governing Republican-Socialist coalition had fallen apart, with the Radical Republican Party beginning to support a newly united political right. The right formed an electoral coalition, as was favored by the new electoral system enacted earlier in the year. The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) won only 59 seats. The newly formed Catholic conservative Spanish Confederation of the Autonomous Right (CEDA) gained 115 seats and the Radicals gained 102. The right capitalized on disenchantment with the government among Catholics and other conservatives. CEDA campaigned on reversing the reforms that had been made under the Republic, and on freeing political prisoners. Anarchists favored abstention from the vote. These factors helped the election to result in significant victory for the right over the left. This election marked the beginning of a fascist government in Spain.
