From ideas without agreement to found projects. Articulation, disarticulation and ideological rearticulation of the National Cooperatist Party

Abstract

: For a long time historiography has characterized the National Cooperatist Party as a group with Catholic overtones. In this paper, aided by some programmatic texts written by party members, it is intended to question this conception. For this, rather than seeking the supreme ideological affiliation of the cooperative members, the emphasis is placed on the discussions and disagreements that arose between the ideas of the members of the political organization. Hand in hand with this approach, it is possible to shed light on the split suffered by the party during the presidential conjuncture of 1924.
