Arriba (newspaper)

Arriba was first published in Madrid 21 March 1935 by José Antonio Primo de Rivera, founder of the Falange Española.

He believed that Jews, Freemasons and Communists were conspiring to destroy Christianity in general and Spain in particular.

Sepu (Sociedad Española de Precios Únicos), Spain's first department store, was founded in Barcelona on 9 January 1934 by Swiss citizens of Jewish origin, Henry Reisembach and Edouard Wormsde, who also opened a second store in Madrid.

[7] That same year, Arriba wrote: The international Jewish-Masonic conspiracy is the creator of the great evils that have arrived for humanity: such are capitalism and Marxism.

[8]Arriba carried a series of articles by Franco himself (compiled in 1952 under the title Masonería, "(Free)Masonry").

On 9 August 1949 Franco wrote an article in Arriba entitled "Alta masonería" ("High Masonry"): The recognition of Israel, its entry into the UN, the hypocritical and unjust conduct toward Spain, the enmity against Argentina, the systematic opposition in the government of the state, the great decisions about the national order, obey exclusively the dictates of (Free)Masonry.

[9]On 11 December 1949 he wrote: To so extend (Free)Masonry through various nations faced with a people deeply entrenched in the society we live, who see an ideal field for machinations in the sect that comes dragging a secular complex of inferiority and of rancor from their dispersion: they are the Jews of the world, the army of speculators accustomed to break or skirt the law, which benefits the sect to be considered powerful.
