Abstract

The history of El Cruzado Español is not well known since it has transcended the involvement of its owner group in the search for a successor to the Carlist pretender during the Second Republic, Alfonso Carlos I. However, the purpose of its existence was none other than that of serving as a platform for the re-founding of the defunct newspaper El Correo Español. The formation of a new counterrevolutionary amalgam between 1931 and 1932 completely dismantled the anxieties of the group of orthodox Jaimists who controlled the weekly, by recovering the fundamentalist newspaper El Siglo Futuro as an unofficial organ of the Traditionalist Carlist Communion. This article seeks to characterize the first years of this weekly and later biweekly publication. It also investigates the recovery projects of El Correo Español, its role in the political reorganization of Carlism and the main controversies that caused its expulsion from the Communion.
