Radical Republican Party
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Radical Republican Party (Spanish: Partido Republicano Radical), sometimes shortened to the Radical Party was a Spanish political party founded in 1908 by Alejandro Lerroux in Santander, Cantabria as a split from the Republican Union party.
The party's ideology shifted significantly over time from participation in acts of Tragic Week in 1909 to a coalition with the conservative Spanish Confederation of the Autonomous Right during the Second Spanish Republic in 1931.
It suffered numerous splits during its existence. In 1929, the left wing of the party split off as the Radical Socialist Republican Party. In 1934, moderates[citation needed] in the party led by Diego Martínez Barrio left to form the Radical Democratic Party.
The party had often been seen to be anti-clerical and close the Masonic Grande Oriente Español.[1]
