Maurist Party
Political party in Spain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Maurist Party (Spanish: Partido Maurista, PM), also known as the Maurists (Spanish: Mauristas), 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.[1][2][3]

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.[4] In early 1931, the Constitutional Centre party was founded by three leading maurists (Goicoechea, César Silió, and Maura's son Gabriel) after negotiations in late 1930 in order to establish a federation of right-wing forces between Catalan regionalists and maurists.[5]
