Maurist Party


The Maurist Party, also known as the Maurists, was a political faction within the Liberal Conservative Party, led by Antonio Maura, which split from the party after Eduardo Dato's appointment as prime minister of Spain on 27 October 1913.
The party lost relevance after Miguel Primo [de Rivera]'s coup d'état in 1923 and Maura's death in 1925, with Antonio Goicoechea being elected as new party leader. In early 1931, the Constitutional Centre party was founded by three leading maurists after negotiations in late 1930 in order to establish a federation of right-wing forces between Catalan regionalists and maurists.
