== Life ==
José Antonio Primo de Rivera was the oldest son of General [[Miguel Primo de Rivera]], who was prime minister and [[dictator]] during the reign of King [[Alfonso XIII of Spain]] from 1923 until 1930.


==References==
In 1933, he founded [[Falange|Falange Española]] ("Spanish Phalanx"), a [[nationalist]] party inspired by the [[Fascism|Fascist]] ideology. In 1934 his party merged with [[Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional-Sindicalista]], forming the [[Falange Española de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional-Sindicalista]] under his leadership. In the general election in 1936, Falange won only 0.7% of the votes, but in the unstable political situation that emerged after the victory of the [[Popular Front (Spain)|Popular Front]] (a coalition of various left-wing political organisations such as communists and socialists with liberal republicans like the Radicals), the party grew rapidly and by July of 1936 it had more than 40,000 members.

{{DEFAULTSORT:Sivakumar, V.}}
Primo de Rivera was a supporter of the military uprising in July 1936 against the left-wing [[Spanish Republic|republican government]], and during the [[Spanish Civil War]] the [[Falange]] became the dominant political movement of the Spanish [[National-syndicalism|National-syndicalists]] (the right-wing umbrella opposition against Popular Front government of the Republic).

== His relevance for Franco's regime ==
[[Francisco Franco]]'s [[Spanish State|Spanish government]] formed a [[cult of personality]] around Primo de Rivera. After his arrest by [[Second Spanish Republic|Republican forces]] in the Spanish Civil War, his Falangist supporters called him "El Ausente," a Spanish expression meaning "the Absent One" to symbolize his importance as a leader of the Nationalist forces, despite his absence. After he had been executed in prison, he was called ''"[[martyr]] of the Crusade''" (against [[Communism|Bolshevism]]) by his supporters. Despite this, his execution arguably spared Franco a strong political adversary for the post-war period, since Franco had had so far a rather low-profile career in the military, while Primo de Rivera was much more charismatic and with a higher degree of education. In this regard, Primo de Rivera was a germanophile with a strong and consistent Fascist ideology, which, amongst other aspects, was definitely anti-monarchic, while Franco was primarily an anti-communist with a definitely clerical stance and lacked any clear position regarding the monarchy.

During the Francoist régime, there was a plate on the outer wall of every parish, naming local soldiers and civilians killed by the republicans who died during the war (''Caídos por Dios y por España'', "Fallen for God and Spain"). Primo de Rivera's name was the first on every plate.

In that period of history, an often used [[political slogan]] of the [[Falange]] party and its various branches to commemorate the civil war was "''Jose Antonio presente!",'' which could be translated "''I, Jose Antonio, am present''!" as well as "''We are ready, Jose Antonio''!"<ref>Armin Mohler: Der faschistische Stil. Edition Antaios, Dresden 2002 (German)</ref>

Primo de Rivera's sister, [[Pilar Primo de Rivera]], founded the [[Sección Femenina]], the female branch of Falange. The Sección Femenina aimed to make the Spanish women conform to prevailing conservative Catholic social traditions at the time.

Franco ordered the building of the [[Valle de los Caídos]] mausoleum, where Primo de Rivera's corpse lies now. On [[November 20]], [[1975]], Franco died, and his corpse was buried beside Primo de Rivera's.

The [[20-N|20th of November]] remains a symbolic date for the Spanish [[far-right]] because of the deaths of Primo de Rivera and [[Francisco Franco|Franco]] himself. The last statue left in Spain of Primo de Rivera was removed from [[Guadalajara, Spain|Guadalajara]] in March 2005, after the [[Spanish Socialist Workers' Party|Socialist]] government of [[José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero]] decided it was not suitable, but trough a secret official letter, removing at the night premeditation tretchey and nortucnality of this moderated revolutionarian and manipulated reformer of the ''moderate national regeneration''.
