Minoría Vasco-Navarra

Minoría Vasco-Navarra (English: Basque-Navarrese Minority) was a right-wing parliamentary grouping in the Spanish Cortes during the term of 1931–1933.

The minority originated as an electoral alliance of 2 parties: Basque nationalists from Partido Nacionalista Vasco and Carlists from Comunión Tradicionalista, plus some independent candidates not associated with any organisation.

Its key objectives were 1) restraining belligerent secularisation of public life, promoted by centre-left; and 2) creating an autonomous region, which would consist of 4 provinces in question.

In practical terms the Basque-Carlist alliance broke up in June 1932, when during works on autonomy the mayors from Carlist-dominated Navarre rejected the scheme.

At this point PNV leaders concluded that alliance with the Traditionalists offered no gains and Minoría Vasco-Navarra became a rather formal arrangement, maintained only for the sake of some technical benefits, enjoyed by parliamentary groupings in the Cortes.
