Here we have the most amazing finding of the research to which this article refers to, which analyzes the editorial positions held by the seven newspapers of widest distribution (three monarchists and four republicans) since Primo de Rivera´s resignation in January 1930 to the fall of Alfonso XIII.Downloads
