Composition
The Movimiento Nacional was primarily composed of:
- the single-party state, named Falange EspaƱola Tradicionalista y de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional Sindicalista (known as Falange EspaƱola, acronym: FET y de las JONS) which had been created at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. Other parties were prohibited (the sole name of "party" was prohibited to design any type of organization).
- the trade union organization, called Sindicato Vertical, composed of corporativist organizations which gathered employers and workers, in opposition to Marxism's class warfare.
- All civil servants and any holder of some sort of public office was requested to swear an oath to the Principios del Movimiento Nacional (Principles of the National Movement)
