PSOE
support for the
democratic republic
presented problems for the left
PSOE proposed to introduce many measures that the left welcomed:
nationalization of the banks and railways, mines and forests
legalization of divorce
legal protection for civil rights
separation of the catholic church from state
many of the left believed that a parliament
democracy
was an essentially
bourgeois
form of
government
and therefore incapable of truly
radical
action
conflict became apparent during
PSOE-led coalition
frustrated at the
slow pace
of
change
,
radical unions
like the
UGT
and
FNTT
, as well as the
anarchist CNT
, initiated to
strike action
anarchist CNT
never supported the
republic
first major strike was initiated by dockworkers in
Pasaia
, a port town in the
Basque
country, in
May 1931
PSOE
asked the workers to wait for the
reforms
to have an effect
CNT
, argued waiting was
pointless
, as the new republic was little better than the old
military
dictatorship
gov sent in
Civil Guard
to break up the fight -
8
workers were killed in fighting
UGT became more radical and the influence of the
anarchist
grew within the
union
movement
1931
- strikes spread to
Madrid
,
Barcelona
and
Seville
July 1931
- telephone strikers seperated the left
Anarchists
and
Communists
supported the striking workers
PSOE ministers in the gov ordered the police to break up the strike
CNT organised
general strike
in
Seville
led to further
violence
, as workers engaged in
gun battles
with
police
strike was brought to an end by military action against the CNT headquarters in the city
Badajoz
:
local
landlords
and
police
worked together to deny
peasants' rights
, the
FNTT
called a
strike
Civil Guard
responded by opening fire on
unarmed
,
peaceful protestors
violence
and
divisions
among the
unions
led to a
decline
in the number of
strikes
at the end of
1931.
clashes between the
PSOE-led
gov and the
union movement
led to
bitter divisions
on the
left
Divisions in the left were obvious in
1932
CNT called a
general strike
but
UGT
refused to collaborate.
Leaders of UGT condemned the strike, arguing that a new republic should be given time to
consolidate
and deliver the promised
reforms
