The National Monarchist Union (Spanish: Unión Monárquica Nacional; UMN) was a Spanish political party, founded in April 1930 as successor to the Patriotic Union, the official party promoted by the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera. Its leadership comprised several ministers of the regime as well as the son of the dictator.[2] Featuring a Neo-Conservative matrix, the party included nonetheless an active group of representatives of the radical right[3] and vouched for the installation of an Authoritarian monarchy.[4]
