Los posicionamientos de la Diputación Foral de Navarra y de la derecha navarrista entre 1976 y 1978 en relación al debate preautonómico

Abstract

In this article the positions taken by the Regional Government of Navarre and by the earlier Navarre right between 1976 and 1978 on the issue of autonomy will be examined. Both the agreements made by the Regional Government and the reports and opinions of Regional Government consultants and experts will be analysed. The position taken by Jaime Ignacio del Burgo, the architect of the process which a few years later would lead to the Betterment of the Fuero (Amejoramiento del Fuero), or historical rights to self-government, will also be discussed. However, the article will first examine the conclusions reached by Navarre’s conservative and traditionalist political spectrum during the Second Republic in relation to the question of the Statute as well as the growth of cuarentayunismo during the Franco regime.
