In memory of Manuel Azaña
If there is a political figure who personifies what the democratizing and progressive experience of the Second Republic entailed it is without a doubt Manuel Azaña Díaz - whose death is now years old . Salvador de Madariaga said of him that he was “the greatest Spaniard who revealed the brief republican period” and this leads him to define him as “the most valuable man in the new regime simply because of his intellectual and moral superiority” and that is that Certainly Azaña's preparation for public life was unprecedented among politicians of his time. For his part Paul Preston highlighted the three main objectives that inspired Azañista political action which were: the modernization of relations between Church and.State through the promotion of a secularist policy by the young Republic see the Law of Confessions and Religious Congregations; the modernization of the army not only in its technical aspects but above all subordinating it to the civilian power UAE Phone Number of the Government to avoid the endemic and disastrous interventionism of the military in political life of which there were plenty of examples in our recent history of the th and th centuries to which we should add a third objective no less important than the previous ones: the need to introduce rationality and dialogue in political and parliamentary life a desire of which they should also take good note our current political class.

Manuel Azaña being President of the Council of Ministers during the so-called “ social-azañista biennium ” - was the promoter of a wide range of educational military and profound social or structural reforms such as agrarian reform or the approval of the Statute of Catalonia all of which earned him three powerful and dangerous enemies which were the Church an increasingly fascistic right-wing and a good part of the Army. Now years later Manuel Azaña continues to rest in French lands like Juan Negrín or Antonio Machado three people who represent the best of the transformative political and cultural ideal that represented the Second Spanish Republic. During the period of right-wing government Radical Party-CEDA known as “Bienio Negro” November – February momentarily removed from power Azaña returned to political life with the Izquierda Republicana a party founded in and which would later be integrated into the broad coalition that was the Popular Front.
