Abstract
In this study we try to analyze the process of political purge that took place between 1936 and 1940 in the provincial Council of Alava against the employees and civil servants who depended on it. The research we will based on the lists of charges formulated by the provincial institution, the defense of the defendants and the different consequences entailed by the sanctions depending on the ideology of the employees. As a comparative support, we will often resort to the characteristics and consequences that this form of economic and labour repression tackled by the Franco's regime acquired in the city council of Vitoria and, to a lesser extent, in other small municipalities of Alava. With it, our intention is to interpret the parallelisms and similarities in the processes of political purge as well as to try to find out if behind the different treatment given to the Basque nationalists and leftists an attempt of the provincial rightwing to incorporate the first ones into the new regime was hidden, combining a dose of a marked paternalism (an inheritance of a local culture of conservative fund, the «vitorianismo» ) with the most determined political strategy.
