Abstract

SEGUN-ALONSO, Manuel. “La influencia de la masonería madrileña en la política de la Segunda República Española (1931-1939)”. REHMLAC [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.2, pp.91-115. ISSN 1659-4223.

The criticised interconnections between freemasonry and politics in Madrid (Spain) should be approached from different points of view because we are dealing with a complex institution made of several entities: freemasons, lodges and Grand Lodges. Additionally, the Masonry of Madrid has been linked with political objectives such as to fight against the power of the dictatorship, the clergy, and the monarchy; and being in favour of a laic and democratic society; as well as a strong social commitment. We have tried to explain, within the context of Madrid, the link between masonry and politics (republicanism), which helped to create an influential ideological group within the Masonry of Madrid in the Spanish Republic (1931-1939).

Keywords : Madrid; Anticlericalism; dictatorship; politics; republicanism; Grand Orient of Spain; Grand Lodge of Spain.
