La restauración de las instituciones republicanas españolas en México: las sesiones de Cortes de 1945

Abstract

The exile of 1939 in Spain currently has an extensive and varied bibliography, however, some contents are still pending a historiographical treatment in accordance with the demands of historical science. This is the case of the first Government of the Republic in exile that lasted from mid-1945 to the beginning of 1947. A crucial historical period after the end of the Second World War with the victory of the allies, which forced the Spanish exiles to try to overcome the divisions that had dragged on since the Civil War and organize with a view to a hypothetical overthrow of the Franco regime. To this end, its most representative institutions were restored, a requirement that required the convening of Cortes that held parliamentary sessions in Mexico in 1945. In the first of them, after being appointed the interim president of the Republic in August 1945, it proceeded to form a Government that had to be endorsed in a new session of Cortes in the fall of that year. Plenary celebration in which the programmatic lines of an Executive were exposed whose central axis was to restore the Republic and end Franco’s dictatorship.
