Abstract

From the speech of Minister Largo Caballero in Geneva, prior to the one that took place in the Pardiñas cinema and the one at the Summer School, (1933), the political leeway of the majority of the PSOE was clear. The forced exit of the Government increased the aggressiveness against the «Bourgeois Republic» and the «Bourgeois Democracy», with the help of the Socialist Youth Association and the official newspaper «El Socialista» («The Socialist»). The election speeches of the head of the Party and the minutes of the Party-Board are the best evidence of it. That year, the triple election defeat only aggravated the feeling of frustration. The «fraction» of Julián Besteiro, president of the UGT ( General Trade Union), an «orthodox» Marxist, opposed to the dictatorship of the proletariat, was the only one resisting, an just for a short time.
