Ramiro de Maeztu also sat in the management of this monarchist tendency enterprise . The campaign was essential to the Unión Militar Española coup from July 18, 1936.
In 1931, the government of Niceto Alcalá Zamora closed the ABC publishing house for 25 days and briefly imprisoned Luca de Tena. Another time the publishing house was closed for three days on November 21, 1931 and on the grounds that the Spanish parliament was disdainful, on the occasion of the sanctioning of an indictment against Alfonso XIII. (Spain) , a fine of a thousand pesetas was imposed. The third closure of the ABC , accompanied by another imprisonment of Luca de Tena, lasted from August 10 to November 4, 1932 and was based on a decree of the Interior Ministry of the Manuel Azaña government . In 1936, when the government of the Frente Popular was elected, he was in exile in Biarritz .

After the coup's victory in 1939, Luca de Tena returned to the publishing house in Madrid. While many Republican journalists were murdered, the ABC was stripped of its paper for a few days when Franco was too monarchist.
