  • Reasons For the Creation of CEDA:
    1. To capitalise on the discontent caused by the army reforms and anti-clericalism
    2. To stop a left-wing victory at the next election
    3. Gil Robles wanted to defend property rights, Catholicism and the unity of Spain
  • CEDA received a large amount of funding from landowners and wealthy industrialists who hoped they would reverse the previous reforms
  • Many on the left feared Gil Robles was planning to establish an authoritarian government
