“We prefer red Spain than fragmented Spain,” said José Calvo Sotelo in San Sebastián. He was on the fronton of the Urumea, in an act celebrated by the Spanish National Bloc, following the intervention of the anti-Republican right against Basque nationalism. He said: "Between a red Spain and a broken Spain, I prefer the first, because it would be a transitional phase, and the second would be a permanent rupture."
