Spanish Patriotic Union

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Unión Patriótica Española ("Spanish Patriotic Union", UPE) was the party created from above by Spanish dictator Miguel Primo de Rivera, conceived as a support to his conservative dictatorship and integrating political Catholicism, technocrats, and the business-owning classes.

After the establishment of the Spanish Republic, the party changed its name to the Union Monarquista (Monarchist Union). It was merged into the Falange in 1936.
