A few weeks before the attempted coup, on July 11, a group of Falangists stormed the station of Unión Radio Valencia, announcing through their microphones an imminent "national syndicalist revolution".

[2] In the early hours of the morning, an important labor mobilization was taking place in the city (the CNT and UGT had called for a General Strike as of July 19)[1] accompanied by the deployment of the Assault Guard, and the officers loyal to the republican government.

[2] The socialists and anarchists, for their part, maintained the Unified Revolutionary Committee in parallel to deal with the supply shortages that were beginning to be suffered in Valencia.

[6] On the other hand, when on Thursday, July 23, the Delegate Board announced the dissolution of the CEP (constituted the previous day).

The CEP refused[7] and, in the face of the attempted uprising of the Paternal headquarters, close to the city, they launched the Levantine militias against the barracks, which were forcibly taken between the end of July and the beginning of August.

On August 5, the Delegate Board, in the face of the failure of its management, officially recognized the Popular Executive Committee, which went on to direct all rearguard policy in Valencia, and left the city.

[10] During the first months of activity of this administration, 13% of cultivated land was seized and collectivized, forming 353 collectives, 264 directed by the CNT, 69 by the UGT, and 20 mixed CNT-UGT.

At the end of October 1936, the CEP presidency passed into the hands of Ricardo Zabaltza Elorga, who was also appointed Civil Governor of Valencia by Largo Caballero.

One of the CEP's main developments was the Unified Levantine Council for Agricultural Export (Spanish: Consejo Levantino Unificado de Exportación Agrícola, CLUEA), created on October 7, 1936, by representatives of the Valencian CNT and UGT.

[12] Posterists like Arturo Ballester and the monthly magazine La voz del CLUEA were available to spread the organization's activities.

In the context of the civil war, the orange market was a very important income from foreign exchange, for those who managed to control it.

CLUEA's management was always surrounded by controversy and confrontation, since although the UGT militants agreed with the collectivization, the leaders of the PSOE did not.

At the funeral organized by the anarchist Torres-Benedito, Iron and CNT 13 columns, they passed near the heavily armed Civilian Government, awaiting a possible attack.

The last thing the CNT leaders wanted at the time were problems with the PCE, just as the details were being finalized to join the Largo Caballero government.

All centralism is a fascist concept, and therefore we must oppose the product of that mentality with our feeling of freedom, which is not "disintegrating", but will produce a true union, based on brotherhood and mutual respect.

At the time, the city had been governed by what amounted to almost a Soviet system, although under the guise of the revolutionary regime it had remained wholly petty-bourgeois and anti-revolutionary.

In the Final offensive of the Spanish Civil War, the nationalist faction occupied Valencia and Alicante on March 30, 1939.

[22] The council was formed by all the capital and possessions of the thirteen socialized industrial branches in Villena: Retail, Footwear, Oil, Salt, Wines and Alcohols, Flour, Agriculture, Plaster, Metallurgy, Textiles, Clothing, Furniture and Building Materials.

Due to the increase in the prices of basic necessities and the freezing of wages, the creation of a consumer cooperative was proposed, which was established on August 26, 1937, although it did not open its doors on May 3, 1938.

In the different discussions that took place on various topics, there were constant disputes between the UGT and CNT, which finally resulted in an agreement to divide the workers of the CRES into two groups according to their union.

From January 1939, it was waiting for better economic circumstances that didn't come, since at the end of the war, the Francoist administration was in charge of dissolving the CRES and integrating it into the Vertical Union.
