Tres artículos de Niceto Alcalá Zamora y Torres olvidados en la prensa suiza, 1937

Abstract

Three Articles by Niceto Alcalá Zamora y Torres Forgotten in the Swiss Press, 1937

The main purpose of this work is the recovery of three articles by Niceto Alcalá Zamora, Second Spanish Republic first president. These writings were published in the Swiss newspaper “Journal de Genève” at the beginning of 1937, when the Andalusian politician was living his second year of voluntary exile in France as a consequence of the Civil War. He had to survive there fundamentally with what he had obtained from his collaborations in the European and American press. In many of them, as in those that are rescued here from oblivion, he narrated his dismissal as Head of State on 7th April 1936 and expressed his severely negative opinions about his colleagues in the political world of the time. In order to set the circumstances in which don Niceto composed these writings, it has seemed appropriate to include the section “Contexto de la redacción de los artículos” before moving on to the Spanish translation of the articles.
