Spanish Nationalist Party (PNE; Spanish: Partido Nacionalista Español) was a Spanish nationalist political party active in the Second Spanish Republic. The PNE was founded by José María Albiñana in 1930.

Ideology

The main points of the party platform were:

  • Defence of the unity of Spain. Rejection of the Autonomous Regions.
  • Respecting the "religious principles".
  • Monarchism.
  • Defense of social order. Opposition to class struggle.
  • "Agrarian nationalism" and promoting cooperation and agricultural credit.
  • Equitable taxation.
  • Free elementary education and letting popular classes access to middle and upper education.
  • Nationalization of health services and social assistance.
  • International action to prevent the discrediting of Spain.

The ideological position of the PNE has been defined as "ultra-reactionary"[1] and traditionalist. In fact, in his last will, José María Albiñana asked his followers to join the Traditionalist Communion.[2]

History

The party gained a MP (José María Albiñana) for Madrid in the general elections of 1936. The party was dissolved shortly after the military coup of 1936.
