Syndicalist Party




Never a major group, the Party was isolated due to its moderate Syndicalist stance, and depended on several cells in Madrid , Andalusia , Zaragoza , Catalonia , and the Land Of Valencia .

The Syndicalist Party published a daily newspaper, ''El Pueblo''. In Barcelona the Catalan Federation of the party published ''Hora Sindicalista'' (1936-1937) and then ''Manaña'' until January 1939 . The youth wing of the party was the Syndicalist Youth (''Juventud Sindicalista''). In 1936 two party members, Pestaña and Benito Pabón , were elected to the parliament as affiliates of the Popular Front .

The group backed the Republic during the Spanish Civil War . Affected by Pestaña's death in December 1936 , it still numbered around 30,000 members. In 1974 a group of people coming from Anarcho-syndicalist and left- Falangist traditions launched a party with the Same Name .
