Political party in Spain
The
Liberal Republican Right
(
Spanish
:
Derecha Liberal Republicana
) was a Spanish political party led by
Niceto Alcala-Zamora
, which combined immediately with the incipient republican formation of
Miguel Maura
just before the
Pact of San Sebastian
, of which they formed a part, as Alcala-Zamora was elected president of the
Provisional Government of the Republic
. After the proclamation of the
republic
, it participated in the
1931 general election
among the lists of the combined republican-socialist coalition, receiving 22 seats.

In August 1931, the party changed its name to the "Progressive Republican Party" (
Partido Republicano Progresista
). During the constitutional discussions, the progressives, together with the
radicals
of Lerroux, abandoned the republican socialist coalition. A little later, in January 1932, its right wing, led by Miguel Maura, split off, taking 13 of the delegates of the party to the
Conservative Republican Party
(
Partido Republicano Conservador
). The party disappeared at the beginning of the
Spanish Civil War
.
