Abstract
AGUIAR BOBET, Valeria. Masonic and Epistolary networks between Morocco, Mexico and Cuba during the Second Spanish Republic. REHMLAC [online]. 2018, vol.10, n.1, pp.225-248. ISSN 1659-4223. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rehmlac.v10i1.32432.
During the Spanish Second Republic, communications between the Spanish lodges of North Africa and some lodges of Latin America were constant. Epistolary exchanges were notable especially with the Grand Lodge “Eastern Peninsula” of the State of Yucatán, the Grand Lodge “United Mexico” of Veracruz or the Grand Lodge of Cuba Island. In the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco and sovereign territories, lodges such as Perseverancia no. 70 of Larache or Hercules no. 55 of Ceuta are notable in this labor, both sponsored by the Spanish Grand Lodge. These also had some considerable contacts with the Grand Regional Lodge of Morocco, that belonged to the Spanish Grand Orient. In this paper, we will try to outline the relevance and characteristics of these links and the origins of an international (transoceanic and transcontinental) solidarity network of cooperation, more intense than with other European lodges, particularly those of the Iberian Peninsula.
