The Reformist Party (Spanish: Partido Reformista), formally and less-commonly known as the Reformist Republican Party (Spanish: Partido Republicano Reformista) was a political party in early 20th-century Spain.[1] It was founded in 1912 by Melquíades Álvarez, Gumersindo de Azcárate, and José Ortega y Gasset,[2][3] and presented itself as representing a moderate, accidentalist and democratic republicanism.[3][4] In the 1914 election, the party elected 11 members to the Congress of Deputies.
The party ceased to exist during the Second Spanish Republic, which began in 1931.[5]
