El Trentisme a Catalunya. Divergencies ideològiques en la CNT (1930-1933).

El Trentisme a Catalunya. Divergències ideològiques en la CNT (1930-1933) (Barcelona, Curial, 1980). This study examines the origin and development of the “treintista” tendency, a term derived from a manifesto signed by thirty prominent militants of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), during the early years of the Second Republic. The primary objectives of this work are to analyze the defining characteristics of this current, the process by which its ideological, strategic, and tactical positions were established, and its influence within the labor movement.

The study also explores the controversies that arose between the “faistas”, militants of the Federación Anarquista Ibérica (FAI), a specifically anarchist organization, and the “treintistas”, the two dominant factions within the CNT at the time. These conflicts led to the immediate removal of “treintista” figures from the CNT’s governing committees and the eventual split of the organization in mid 1933. These clashes unfolded against a backdrop of intense social, political, and economic conflict. To conduct this research, the author drew primarily upon documentary sources, memoirs, and oral testimonies from a variety of origins.
