The Partido Auténtico (also known as the Cuban Revolutionary Party-Auténtico or PRC-A) was a Cuban political party most active between the years of 1933 to 1952. The two most prominent members of the party, Ramón Grau San Martín and Carlos Prío Socarrás, each held the role of President of Cuba. Grau was president twice, between 1934-45 and 1944-48, followed by the presidency of Prío 1948-52. Although the Auténtico had significant influence during this period, they eventually became unpopular and, despite significant reforms, their administrations led to Fulgencio Batista's return to power.
