“Fray Lazo: el anticlericalismo radical ante el debate constituyente de la segunda República Española (1931)"

Abstract

During the first year of the Spanish Second Republic, an important part of the republican and labour movement adopted the idea of securalization as an strategic element in their position on the political debate. There were a special group among them who was specially sensible and receptive to the radical anticlericalism; they worked together with a parliamentarian group and the very important support of the republican press; moreover there was an exclusive anticlerical journal: Fray Lazo (1931). This article presents an analysis in context of that journal and special view of their postulates in the constitutional debate (1931); through this view it will be posible to show that that radical anticlericalism played an important role in order to obtain a particular political agreement and legal definition of the new political system.
