Ideología política como frontera: la derecha católica navarra durante la Segunda República [Political ideology as a border: The Navarian catholic right during the second republic]

Abstract

This article explains how the right-wing Catholic parties in Navarra were transformed during the Second Spanish Republic (1931-1936). At the beginning of 1931 the Navarrese Catholic parties were divided, since their ideological boundaries distanced them from each other. They were only united by Catholicism, a factor they used to approach each other and present themselves as a block. In addition, it is clear that the ideas that right-wing parties had been defending were ignored in order to unite and end with a common enemy, the Second Republic. This way their ideological boundaries underwent modifications in order to fit in with each other and act together.
