EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Spanish history during the Second Republic (1931-1936). The image features two prominent political figures, Fernando de los Ríos (left) and Miguel Maura (third from right), engaged in the elections for the Constituent Cortes, or Parliament, on 28th June 1931. The Second Republic marked a significant shift towards democracy in Spain, following the end of the monarchy. The Constituent Cortes were tasked with drafting a new constitution for the republic. The elections were held in the wake of the April 1931 revolution, which saw the abdication of King Alfonso XIII and the establishment of the Second Spanish Republic. The democratic elections represented a triumph for the republican cause, and the turnout was impressive, with over 70% of the electorate participating. Fernando de los Ríos, a socialist politician, and Miguel Maura, a liberal, are shown here in the midst of the election proceedings. Their presence underscores the diverse political landscape of the time and the spirit of cooperation that characterized the early days of the Second Republic. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the hope and optimism that accompanied the transition to democracy in Spain. The image is a poignant testament to the importance of democratic processes and the power of the people to shape their own destiny. It stands as a visual representation of the historical significance of the Second Republic in Spanish history and the determination of its citizens to build a more equitable and democratic society.
