We must add to the thousands of political prisoners shot or imprisoned and tortured after the war a great number of LGBT people killed or imprisoned during that time .

FUNDAMENTAL LAW

-Jurisdiction of work: inspired by Italian fascism. - Cortes without legislative power.- Rights limited by the regime.- It provided a FET and JONS as the only political party , which ended up being called “NationalMovement "

Agriculture entered a deep crisis .

Famine made the black market increase. Ration cards were imposed until 1952

Industrial activity became stagnant. The rate of industrialization in 1930 was not recovered until 1952 .

Wages fell to below pre- Civil War levels, while prices increased.
