Enterría
Eduardo Garcia has just published a text of Manuel Azana on Catalan autonomy. Are speeches, almost all parliamentarians, "personal notes and journal articles, well known to all who have an interest in the Second English Republic. All material published here was already in the very incomplete Works (1966-1968) of former president of the Republic and, as often happens in these cases, one of the highlights of the book-apart from the opportunity of the dates appearing in bookstores, is in the introductory essay that accompanies the text, especially when it comes great authority of the legal world as Enterría Garcia. Hence the interest of his comments on some of the legal aspects of Catalan autonomy process and, especially, the attempt to apply the principle of Catalan self-determination that had circulated on President Wilson after the end of the first war world.
Azaña's performance would be decisive in approving of the Statute, which began operation in September 1932, but that fact did not stop the problem resolved, inter alia Azaña own behavior, after being ousted from power, called for the annulment of the outcome of November elections 1933, which had given victory to the right and, above all, engaged in a protracted campaign to discredit the new government. It was then ana said that "before the Constitution is the Republic", an idea which, according to Garcia Enterría was truly subversive and served to legitimize any breach of constitutional order as that indeed occurred in October 1934 in Asturias and Catalonia. Catalan politicians, and in April 1931, had advanced to proclaim a "Catalan Republic" in a eerie Iberian federation of peoples, persisted in his attitude in 1934, proclaiming the "Catalan state" within the Federal Republic had already been rejected by the constituent members of 1931. The truth is that there was to do no great show of military force for sedition that were diluted with the first rays of dawn fall of Barcelona.
The tension generated by those revolutionary events led to a growing resentment of spirits, which dominated elections in February 1936 and led a few months later, a civil war. Then, as pointed out Enterría Garcia, ana had begun to speak of piety as a necessary attitude in a society that also need compromise and forgiveness among its citizens.

Indiscriminate killings in the summer of 1936 in Madrid, especially those that occurred in an area that was supposed to under the control of government, as was the Model Prison of Madrid-distressed the President of the Republic, sometimes he could hear the shots directly from some performances from the windows of the Royal Palace of Madrid. So when it was a year since the conflict began, he could say in a speech: "No policy can be found in the decision to exterminate the enemy."

A message that seemed lost in the din of those days but it remains a suggestive slogan against those who seem determined to reopen those fronts.
